The Manitoba Legislative Building is the meeting place of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba[1], in central Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It was originally named the Manitoba Parliament Building, not Legislative[1]. The neoclassical building was completed in 1920 and stands seventy-seven meters tall (253 ft)[1]. It was designed and built by Frank Worthington Simon[2] and Henry Boddington III, along with other Masons and many skilled craftsmen. Frank Simon (1862-1933) was a former student at the école des Beaux-Arts[2] which taught students neoclassical art, architecture, geometry, drawing, painting, sculpture, engraving, philosophy, astronomy, and mythology[2]. The building is famous for the Golden Boy, a gold covered bronze statue based on the style of the Roman god Mercury, or the Greek god Hermes, at the top of the cupola, or domed ceiling.
