Ontario Government Buildings, Legislative complex in Queen's Park, Toronto, Canada

The Ontario Legislative Building features pink sandstone walls, rounded archways, and two main wings branching from a central block housing the Legislative Chamber.

Construction of the Ontario Legislative Building occurred between 1886 and 1892, requiring over 10 million bricks and sandstone from Credit Valley quarries.

The Legislative Chamber displays detailed wood carvings in mahogany and sycamore, complemented by wall and ceiling murals created by artist Gustav Hahn.

The building contains offices for members of provincial parliament, research facilities in the Legislative Library, and spaces for governmental ceremonies.

The west wing underwent reconstruction after a 1909 fire, gaining two additional floors and Italian marble interiors that contrast with the original oak elements.
