Ontario Legislative Building July 13 1964

The Ontario Legislative Building is a structure in central Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It houses the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, and the viceregal suite of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario and offices for members of the provincial parliament (MPPs). 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 (later the University of Toronto), which was later leased from the university by the municipal government of Toronto for a "peppercorn" payment of CAD$1 per annum on a 999-year term.The southern portion of the site was later handed over to the provincial government.

 

The building and the provincial government are both often referred to by the metonym "Queen's Park".
