Confederation Building, Legislative building on Confederation Hill, St. John's, Canada.

The Confederation Building is an 11-storey, 64-metre brick- and concrete-clad tower on Confederation Hill, completed in 1960 and now called the East Block. Its copper-roofed central tower carries a lantern lit as a beacon at night. The entrance lobby has dark Italian marble columns framed by oak panelling, and the House of Assembly, finished in 1991, has a vaulted ceiling with stained glass showing the provincial coat of arms.

Completed in 1960 at a cost of $9 million, the Confederation Building replaced the Colonial Building as the seat of Newfoundland and Labrador's legislature and government. At the time it housed about 1,200 employees and all provincial departments, boards and commissions. The West Block extension began in the autumn of 1982 and opened in 1985, and the new House of Assembly chamber was completed in 1991.

The building displays murals depicting Newfoundland's history through different periods and notable figures that shaped the region. These artistic elements tell the story of the people and events that have influenced the province.

The legislature campus on Confederation Hill comprises the East Block, the West Block opened in 1985 and the two-storey Service Building Annex. The East Block entrance lobby has dark Italian marble columns framed by oak panels. The House of Assembly chamber, completed in 1991, has a vaulted ceiling and stained-glass windows with the provincial coat of arms.

The building sits atop a hilltop that gives it a commanding visual presence throughout St. John's, making the legislature's home a landmark that dominates the cityscape. This elevated location adds a symbolic weight to the structure beyond its architecture alone.
