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.
