Old Parliament Building

The Parliament Building features classical columns across its facade and stands on a prominent hill in the center of Quebec City.

The structure housed the Parliament of Lower Canada from 1834 to 1837 and the Parliament of the Province of Canada between 1852 and 1854.

The building represents early Canadian democratic institutions through its Greek Revival architecture, reflecting 19th-century governmental design preferences.

The parliament building contained separate chambers for legislative sessions, administrative offices, and meeting rooms for governmental functions.

Fire destroyed this legislative building in 1854, leading to the construction of a new parliament structure at a different location.
