If you ever saw the old Voyageur Colonial bus terminal in Toronto, it looked a bit like that, though smaller. Enough bays for perhaps 5 or 6 buses at most. The buses would drive up from one side of the building then drive into the bay to load up. It would then just carry on forward back onto Albert(?) street.

Link to site that outlines Ottawas first Chinese families. Great read and includes photos. Lots of historic and familiar businesses are described as well.

One picture from a painting of "The Canton Inn".
