Manitoba Legislative Building

The Manitoba Legislative Building is the meeting place of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba, in central Winnipeg. It was initially named the Manitoba Parliament Building, not Legislative. The neoclassical building was finished in 1920 and stands 77 meters tall. It was structured and worked by Frank Worthington Simon and Henry Boddington III, alongside different artisans and numerous gifted experts. The building is well known for the Golden Boy, a gold secured bronze statue dependent on the style of the Roman god Mercury, or the Greek god Hermes, at the highest point of the dome, or domed roof. In 1911, the Manitoba government reported a design rivalry to all engineers in the British Empire.

A stupendous prize of $10,000 was offered for the best structure for the new Manitoba Legislative Building. It is the third building utilized by Manitoba's administrative get together, the principal being the home of A.G.B. Bannatyne, while the second remained on indistinguishable grounds from the current Legislative building. Of the 67 entries, Frank Worthington Simon, a previous understudy at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, had his plan decided for the development of the amazing structure.
