In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, the Citizen is rolling out one fact each day for 150 days until July 1, highlighting the odd, the fascinating and the important bits of Ottawa history you might not know about.
In 1935, a former confectionary at 223 Armstrong St. underwent extensive renovations to reopen as the Carleton Hotel. Six years later, the business was sold to popular Ottawa sportsman Harold Starr and barber Harry Viau for $10,500. Starr was an ex-Rough Rider and played for the original Senators. They spent $6,000 on an expansion — a massive amount at that time — and the spot became an instant hangout for the sports crowd. By 1951, it was officially known as the Carleton Tavern.
