Is this in Canada?
swanq said:
Yes, it is, or rather was, in Ottawa. The NYT Picture section, Feb 13, 1916 (courtesy of American Memory) memory.loc.gov/service/sgp/sgpnyt/1916/191602/19160213/00... shows the building on fire.

It's the Centre Block, the main building of the Canadian parliamentary complex on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa. It was rebuilt, with some changes, see street view: maps.google.com/maps?q=parliament+hill+ottawa&ll=45.4... See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_Block#History

swanq and B-59: Thanks for the information. It appears the date in the corner might be Feb. 4, 1916, which is the day after the fire. We will add a few more details when we update the record.
