Parliament Building in Winnipeg

The parliament building in Winnipeg, Manitoba is officially called the Manitoba Legislative Building.

It is a unique and marvelous piece of architecture borrowing ideas from Christian, Greek, Egyptian, Babylonian and Jewish cultures.

The structure was built from Tyndall Limestone from the nearby quarries at Garson.
Sitting atop the building is the famous Golden Boy statue, designed after Mercury, the Roman god of trade, profit and commerce.
The interior of the parliament building is designed like a temple sanctuary, similar to the temple of Solomon.
There are also many layers of symbolism throughout the building. So much so that there is even a Hermetic Code tour available.
Influences from the Free Masons were also present in the construction.
