properties in Canada.
SIGNIFICANCE
A building as distinctive and prominent as the Nicholson Hall accurately reflected the public honour for
war sacrifice, military service, veterans and the Union Jack that the World War 1 vets fought under. The
Victorian gothic revival style of the building, which is closely associated with monarchism, reminds us of
the significant cultural role of architecture and the British Dominion that we were at the time. The Cana-
dian Parliament Buildings were also built in the same style to echo the architecture of Westminster and
provide a permanent reminder of our British heritage. The Legion Hall is formally organized around a
central axis and the gothic revival windows, doors and details are what most individuals would associate
with a religious building. The spiritual qualities of the building, in fact, far exceed any of the local churches,
which are relatively banal by comparison.
One can only speculate on the private thoughts and expectations of Mr.
Nicholson in this profound act of philanthropy. He spoke at the dedication
on April 19th 1920 outlining the purposes to which the memorial was
