Province House, Parliamentary building in Halifax, Canada
The three-story sandstone structure at 1726 Hollis Street contains the Legislative Assembly of Nova Scotia, featuring balanced proportions and classical elements.
Construction of Province House began in 1811 and was completed in 1819, becoming the first permanent home of Nova Scotia's government.
The Legislative Library within Province House maintains records of parliamentary proceedings, legislative documents, and publications about Nova Scotia's political development.
