MANITOBA LEGISLATURE GROUNDS WITH POLAR BEARS? (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) #goldenboy #capitol #legislature Today I took a stroll around the Manitoba Legislature grounds. (our capitol building) From monuments to flowers to fountains to architecture there is plenty to see. Enjoy this video of the grounds. Cheers, Scott Info from MHS (Manitoba Historical Society) The first Legislature Building in Manitoba occupied the former A. G. B. Bannatyne residence at Main Street and McDermot Avenue until its destruction by fire in 1873. Temporary facilities were used until 1883 when the second building was opened north of the present-day Government House. The second Legislative Building was a two-storey structure that housed the chamber and offices of the Legislative Assembly and the offices of the five departments of the Executive Government. It was built by the federal government of white brick and stone quarried near Selkirk, between 1882 and March 1883, at a cost of $200,000.

The bricks are mostly hidden by several types of stone, including Manitoba limestone quarried at Garson. The exterior is adorned with many allegorical works of art celebrating wisdom, justice, and courage. The Golden Boy atop the dome is symbolic of Manitoba’s eternal youth and progress. The building was opened formally by Lieutenant Governor James Aikins at a ceremony held on 15 July 1920, the 50th anniversary of Manitoba’s entry into Confederation. With the opening of the third Legislative Building, the second building was no longer required.
