Goodwin House is a prominent heritage building in Ottawa, Canada. Located at 412 Laurier Avenue East it was built by railway executive George Goodwin from 1899 to 1900. It is one of the largest mansions ever built in the city. It later became a convent for the Grey Nuns, and during the Second World War was used as the headquarters of the Canadian Women's Army Corps. In 1978 it was bought and restored by St. John Ambulance, who used it as their national headquarters. Recently it was sold to Amnesty International who today use it as their Canadian headquarters.
