| 释义 |
The Queen's Gates ({{lang-fr|Porte de la Reine}}) is the formal entrance to Parliament Hill,[1] the location of the Canadian parliament buildings, in Ottawa, Ontario. Built in 1872 and set into the fence, known as the Wellington Wall,[2][3] between piers designed in the Victorian High Gothic style that was fashionable in Canada at the time, the gates sit on the central axis of the hill's landscaping, in line with the Centennial Flame and Peace Tower beyond, and open onto Wellington Street. By the early 1990s, neither the piers nor the ironwork had been properly renovated since their construction; salt from the street, the freeze-thaw cycle, and pollution had damaged and disintegrated the grout and stone faces. Thus, in 1992, Public Works and Government Services Canada began a $5 million restoration project of the entire fence along Wellington, which included the Queen's Gates. The piers were fully repointed and stabilised, including their foundations, and the gates were restored and partly rebuilt by a blacksmith.[2] References1. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.collineduparlement-parliamenthill.gc.ca/histoire-history/1859-1916-eng.html| title=A Treasure to Explore > Parliament Hill > The History of Parliament Hill > Construction, 1859-1916| author=Public Works and Government Services Canada| publisher=Queen's Printer for Canada| accessdate=13 January 2009| deadurl=yes| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090830055924/http://www.collineduparlement-parliamenthill.gc.ca/histoire-history/1859-1916-eng.html| archivedate=30 August 2009| df=}} 2. ^1 {{Cite news| last=Waghorn| first=Noel| title=Parliament wall gets an extreme makeover| newspaper=Capital News| date=30 January 2004| url=https://carleton.ca/jmc/cnews/30012004/featureprint.shtml| accessdate=12 January 2009}} 3. ^{{Citation| last=Bosc| first=Marc| last2=O'Brien| first2=Audrey | title=House of Commons Procedure and Practice| place=Ottawa| year=2009| publisher=Queen's Printer for Canada| edition=2| chapter=The Parliament Buildings and Grounds| chapterurl=http://www2.parl.gc.ca/procedure-book-livre/Document.aspx?Language=E&Mode=1&sbdid=1B08A55C-743C-47DB-92E0-898D41340504&sbpid=163E358A-5B67-42CE-98B8-78BA3C74AE13| url=http://www2.parl.gc.ca/procedure-book-livre/Document.aspx?sbdid=7C730F1D-E10B-4DFC-863A-83E7E1A6940E&sbpidx=1&Language=E&Mode=1| isbn=978-2-89635-321-7}} External links
