The Laff - Since 1849 - a photo on Flickriver

            Over the years it's been known as Grant’s Hotel, The Exchange Hotel, The Bodega, The Salmon Arms, The Johnson House, and The Dominion House. In 1936, it became the Chateau Lafayette, and an iconic sign was erected — now believed to be the oldest neon sign in the city of Ottawa. 

It's lived through many highs and lows in history — from a reputation as a brothel to rumours of John A. MacDonald frequenting the pub when visiting from Charlottetown. It’s also rumoured that a young Queen Victoria once walked through the halls. Many famed persons have graced us with their presence over the years, including Dan Aykroyd and the ever-elusive William Hawkins.
