The Manitoba Legislative Building, completed in 1920 in central Winnipeg, serves as the meeting place of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba and houses the offices of the Lieutenant Governor and Executive Council. Designed by architect Frank Worthington Simon and Henry Boddington III, the neoclassical Beaux-Arts structure stands 77 metres tall and is crowned by the celebrated Golden Boy, a gold-covered bronze statue modeled on the Roman god Mercury that has become iconic to the city's skyline. The building's single-chamber design reflects Manitoba's 1876 abolition of the Legislative Council. Designated as a provincial heritage site, it represents a significant example of early twentieth-century parliamentary architecture in Canada.
