The Glebe is a lovely neighbourhood near Downtown Ottawa,Ontario,Canada,bordering the Queensway highway and the Rideau
Canal.The Glebe is a family friendly Anglophone neighborhood in the federal riding of Ottawa Centre.
The stretch of Bank Street that runs through the Glebe is one of Ottawa's premier shopping areas, with many small stores and
restaurants offering a wide variety of services. Much of the rest of the Glebe consists of detached homes, many of them constructed
in the early decades of the 20th century. Some of these homes are owner-occupied family residences, while others have been
subdivided into multiple rental apartments.The area is called the Glebe because in the initial 1837 survey of Ottawa the area was
allocated to St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. The word "glebe" means church lands and the area was originally known as "the
glebe lands of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church". When the area was opened for development in 1870, real estate agents began to
refer to it simply as "The Glebe"The last Saturday in May of each year brings the "Great Glebe Garage Sale" to the neighbourhood;
every household that participates puts items out for sale, attracting a large contingent of bargain hunters to the area. Sellers are
expected to donate a portion of the proceeds to a designated charity.
The Glebe was one of Ottawa's first suburbs. In 1900, the Ottawa Electric Street Railway was established, with one of its first routes
running south along Bank Street. This allowed workers to live in the Glebe and take the street car to work. Most Glebe houses date
from this era, and it became home to many middle-class workers. A number of the more upscale residences were designed by
renowned Canadian architects W.E. Noffke and David Younghusband, while others were pattern-book homes built by local builders
based on catalog designs similar to foursquare architecture elsewhere in North America.
In the middle part of the century the Glebe changed as the middle class moved to more distant suburbs such as Alta Vista and
Nepean and the Glebe became transformed into a predominantly working-class neighbourhood with the houses subdivided into
multiple apartments or turned into rooming houses.
The Glebe is home to Lansdowne Park which contains Frank Clair Stadium, where Ottawa's Canadian Football League (CFL)
football team (the currently suspended Ottawa Renegades) and the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees play their home games.
Lansdowne Park also contains the Ottawa Civic Centre, which is the permanent home of the Ottawa 67's and was the temporary
home (1992�1995) for the Ottawa Senators before Scotiabank Place (originally called The Palladium) was completed.
The area that became the park was purchased from local farmers in 1868 by the City of Ottawa Agricultural Society. From the canal
two bodies of water jut into the Glebe: Patterson Creek and Brown's Inlet. These areas are surrounded by parks and some of the
city's most expensive homes.
