Book Description

January 1995
Rideau Hall: Canada's Living Heritage vividly evokes the significance Government House has for all Canadians. The text provides an overview of the myriad of activities that occur at the estate, placing it in the national spotlight, as well as on the international stage.

Some 200 colour photographs depict the historic edifice and stately grounds throughout the course of four seasons, captured by the camera between August 1993 and August 1994.

The gracious interiors of Rideau Hall are portrayed in particular detail, permitting the reader to vicariously wander beyond the itinerary of the public tours and linger in rooms which often only receive official guests.

This magnificent piece is available in both official languages of Canada - English and French.
