Osgoode Hall, Courthouse at Queen Street West, Toronto, Canada

The three-story stone building presents a late Georgian Palladian architecture with a grand portico, symmetrical wings, and ornate iron gates around its lawns.

Constructed between 1829 and 1832, the building served as military barracks during the rebellions of 1837-1838 before returning to its legal functions.

The Great Library contains a memorial by Frances Loring dedicated to Ontario lawyers and law students who perished during the First World War.

The Ontario Court of Appeal, the Superior Court of Justice, and the Law Society of Ontario currently operate within this national historic building.

The Great Library features an ornate plaster ceiling, cork floors, an iron spiral staircase, and etched glass windows designed by Cumberland and Storm.
