T his is the home to Ontario's Legislative Assembly. For more than one hundred years the laws affecting this enormous province have been debated, approved, and rejected under this roof. Its walls are sandstone and the entire construction resembles some of the older French-themed architecture of Ottawa, Montreal, and other cities to the east. In addition to being a piece of working history, the first floor of the building is entirely devoted to history exhibits from the near and far corners of the province. Like many historic buildings, its history has become muddied over time. Some still refer to it as "Queen's Park" when that is properly the name of the grounds that surround it.

  • A ghost has reportedly been seen descending the grand staircase.
  • Apparitions of three women have been seen -- one in a white gown with long, streaming hair; asecond wearing a checkered dress that covers her head; and a third hanging from a hook in the basement.
  • A ghost has reportedly been seen in the Legisaltive Chamber.
  • The figure of a man has reportedly been seen wearing a soldier's uniform.
