Legislative Assembly of Ontario

It’s a little strange to review the Legislative Assembly of Ontario — I agree but the building is so historic its worth sharing for those that haven’t had a chance yet.
Beautiful exterior brick work, excellent marble work and great historical artifacts and photographs inside.
Interesting Facts: building burnt in 1909, but many portions of it were protected because of the choice of marble. Artists weren’t allowed to sign their names, so many engraved and sculpted their own faces into the work. The building’s asymmetry comes from additions after the fire.
Scary place to be though if you’re here lobbying, rooting for change or providing testimony. So many important provincials decisions made here.

Got a free private tour (they weren’t busy) from the new young guy ‘Shamus’ who was a superb tour guide. Wow what a beautiful and interesting building. All the staff and security were polite, friendly and courteous. We will definitely go again for one of their other tours. If you are in the neighbourhood definitely do it. Only complaint is that the building is stuffy, surely the government can install some air conditioning.
