Legislative Assembly of OntarioToronto, Canada
 4.7 / 9
The building was erected in 1892 in the architectural style of the "Romanesque revival", which very well reflected the exorbitant territorial ambitions of the British Empire. Inside is the Ontario Parliament. During the construction, Italian marble and pink brick were used. The interior is characterized by moderate luxury. The galleries are decorated with exquisite wooden finishes and the windows are decorated with fancy stained-glass windows. | Address: | 111 Wellesley Street West, Toronto | | Phone: | +1 416-325-7500 | | Hours: | monday: 08:00–18:00 tuesday: 08:00–18:00 wednesday: 08:00–18:00 thursday: 08:00–18:00 friday: 08:00–18:00 saturday: Closed sunday: Closed |

Why I love the place so grand a sight, at least as my eyes make it so. At times it can't be a slice of something divine by tongues definition of taste.. Read more ». At times a slice nah a piece of legislation bordering upon beauty only found upon Art. It should almost stand to be, Every piece that leaves such as it is, from the efforts, believes, debates, speakers presiding all the while, creating so many Great Works. All the while the public, kept on repeating, you forgot, forgotten, overlooked, disregarded this right, that right, my rights. Tis now I not believe what your Act tells me, till know we all thought seperate, tis till now that was the norm. For the hopes of a new way, the hopes of all to reform from the one which is given so much. That the many seek to form, one within many, all into one, yet still one it shall have to be for the many found as they justly want to be. Right?
♥️Love always, everlasting♥️ I know truth as I see. |
