ottawa's role as the nation's capital also means that it is home to over a hundred foreign missions. these embassies have an important role in the city's architecture. many embassies and ambassadorial residences are located in notable heritage structures. many of the old mansions built by lumber barons or early politicians now house embassies, and the foreign missions help keep many of these buildings in good condition. this is especially important in older parts of the city such as sandy hill and rockcliffe park. examples include the algerian embassy in fleck/paterson house, the british high commissioner residence at earnscliffe, and the high commission of brunei in stadacona hall. those nations that choose to build a new structure to hold the embassy often incorporate local styles and motifs into their buildings, bringing added diversity to ottawa's architecture. the new saudi arabian and kuwaiti incorporate distinctly middle eastern design elements, while the american embassy is a distinctly federal style structure.
