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.

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.

The velvet seats of this grand auditorium, bathed in an eerie, amber glow, whisper tales of countless nights spent in the company of phantoms. Each seat, a crimson throne, has cradled a thousand souls, all lost in the rapture of the stage's sorcery.
This photo captures more than just empty chairs; it's a mausoleum of memories, where the specters of laughter, tears, and applause are eternally etched into the fabric. The atmosphere is thick with the ghosts of performances past, the air still vibrating with the echoes of a final standing ovation.
The lone seat left up, as though someone has just departed, or perhaps it awaits a solitary spectator, a phantom patron of the arts, whose presence is as elusive as the fleeting nature of fame. It's a scene that could be right out of one of my own twisted tales – a setting where the line between the living and the departed blurs, where every performance is a seance calling forth the spirits of thespians long gone.
The image itself, a scene set in suspense, like the moment before the curtain lifts to reveal a world where drama and reality dance macabrely hand in hand. It's a beautiful capture of the stillness that screams of past life, each thread in the crimson upholstery holding a story, a secret, a silent scream for an encore that will never come.
Keep capturing these silent stories, for every picture is a silent play, awaiting a discerning eye to hear its wordless tale.
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)!
