Named after Winnipeg’s longest-serving MP Stanley Knowles who served 38 years in Ottawa. Built in two stages, the original building as designed by Moody and Moore is the first two floors which was completely built around with a later extension. The original building can be discerned by the slightly different colour of stonework. A fine relief panel of the Canadian coat-of-arns on the western end is the only decoration. With a flat roof and smooth-faced stone cladding, the building’s facade is distinguished by projecting and receding planes giving the building its modern aesthetic.
