Manitoba Legislative Building Restoration Project

The Manitoba Legislative Building was constructed in the neo-classical style popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This architectural style featured design elements from ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. A wide array of materials was used to create these elements such as bronze, brass, Tennessee and Vermont marbles and Manitoba's own Tyndall limestone.

Designed by Frank Worthington Simon of Liverpool, England, the interior features soaring columns, impressive spaces and intricately carved ornamentation that have earned it the status of Manitoba's premier heritage building.

The following pictures provide a closer look at the architectural details of the neo-classical style and the various points of interest shown to visitors during public tours.
