Sometimes monstrosities can be impressive (because they are uni- form in their big ugliness; but not Rideau Hall. Attached to the cen- tral garrison block are two front wings. These are lower and in some. sort of stucco or plaster; not in stone. They reinforce the garrison ,rheadlquarters impression of the main block; they look like soldiers' barracks. We have tried to describe the front view. From all other sides Rideau Hall looks like the mess of building it is: additions here, abutments there, corners and crev- ices in all directions, shapes and all kinds of building material. It has no rhyme, reason or design. On the other hand, it has not the charm or gaiety which some 'hap- hazard, hodgepodge mansions ac- quire. It might be, in another set- ting than the gracious parks and lawns around it, the back -alley view of a small factory whose of- fices and workshops had multiplied as the business expanded. The sec- ondary eaondary buildings in the Rideau Hall estate are a conglomeration of brick, atone, frame, stucco and shack. There is one redbrick building a (hundred feet from the main residence which looks like a small-town fire -hall. We are tel b a competent in- itiate that t inrior of Rideau Hall is as b d as t exterior. This is the building which our Governors General must call "home" during their five years in Canada. The present incumbent, Viscount Alexander, is used to putting up with whatever is avail- able and to garrison life. As a subaltern at the beginning of his illustrious military career he prob ably lived in barracks as ugly. (Aldershot, one of the chief British military centres is a hideous town).
