CANADA - Ontario Parliament Buildings

Ontario Parliament Buildings:
Completed in 1880, the red sandstone building was reportedly haunted by ghosts of three woman and a soldier from an asylum formerly on the site.  Now it is politicians, tourists and students who haunt the richly decorated and glossy wood-paneled rooms.

Thank you Mary Ann for the wonderful Toronto card.


"The Ontario Legislative Building is a structure in central Toronto, Ontario, that houses the viceregal suite of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, and offices for members of the provincial parliament. The building is surrounded by Queen's Park, sitting on that part south of Wellesley Street, which is the former site of King's College."
