The great vogue for gardening and having your own garden space had not started in the 1830s when the Circus was built, so a lawned garden in the centre, shared by the houses, was the usual arrangement.
Newly completed public spaces bring out people on a warm summer evening. A welcome addition to Ottawa.

Another view of the length of the crescent and its neo-classical style. William Thomas was quick to adapt to changing fashions and developed his own style of Gothic Revival, designing a number of example nearby, several of which still survive.
Lansdowne Circus, built by William Thomas behind the Crescent in 1835 as eight pairs of semi-detached Regency houses in a circle around a garden. This is not only charming but, according to Lyndon Cave, unique. With their ground floor raised, the canopied verandas also ‘float’ above what must have been unusually light basement rooms where cooking and washing took place. The front doors, which are recessed at the side, also have separate canopies. The American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne lived in the Circus for a time.
The eight pairs of semi-detached houses in the Circus, built in 1835, are Regency in style. The last house, here, also designed by William Thomas, and built at the same time, is very different, and Victorian gothic. This was very much the style adopted by Thomas, becoming ever more fanciful. At this point, the style is quite restrained - and the Magnolia was also looking wonderful.

Irish rugby fans of a certain age will remember the old Lansdowne Road stadium, where the west stand was built over the main DSER line - presumably 'elf & safety could not permit the new stadium to be constructed in the same way (in case a train should leap the tracks and demolish the English 1st XV)!
