Manitoba Legislative Building

The Manitoba Legislative Building is a monumental neoclassical structure in central Winnipeg, completed in 1920 and celebrated for its lavish stonework and hidden symbolic design. A gilded statue known as the Golden Boy crowns its dome, holding a sheaf of wheat and a torch above the city. Inside, a grand staircase flanked by bronze bison leads to the legislative chamber. The building has become famous for the numerological and Masonic patterns some scholars have traced through its careful proportions and ornament.
