Ji Description of the the Leghhlllve or the De!" mutrter,vs--Tne causal-Mi: , The tigst' piolUmeut buildings in the Queen’s Park, Toronto, which are upon the eve (if completion, and which were formally taken possession of by the people) representatives on the 430% 1 of April, form a most striking. and 1m: posing block of building?" A - more appropriate or alvaT11rogedus 'site could “.0" have been 'yluted, fra. the hemp ties of the pm "ally wowled park add grace yyl ‘Acandoux‘ to, the pile, and, its Viewed {mm 1nivetr,utyavenue orfrom a“; of the other ooigus of vantage in the neighborhood, it makes up a crylosr sal monument tn the One hundred year's progress of. the great province of Chitaris The architectural Rwms in tr,reratrsl octline show the principles of the classical and Roman schools, while the decorations and details of constructions partake of the Celtic and Indo-Germunic. hitfn's Parliament Buildings. Tim PRINCIPAL We“. To ths South, centering 'on Univer- sity avenue, is the best single facade. Its cenigml pavilion appropriately ex- pressirogAivid authority by the exter- nalizing and centralizing of the legislative chamber and its dependen- oies, an expression of purpose hitherto overlooked in the dKignina of buildings of this character. Tshis stately pavilion) measures 120 feet by 116 feet, and) 185 feet high, Mldly treated on three; sides with series (of radiating arches,) V sturdy, clustered acolumns, accentuated; angle turrets and quiet fields of walls,) delightfully enriched by carvings ur) manyof its parts and surfaces. The' whole is crowned by a pyramidal roof; with elougnted domioal turrets at each angle, talking the place of the stereo- tyfed domeor tower "ififei,iluor. lower storey forms the chief entrance, prolonged to a. breadth of some 65 feet, composed oi three arches sqavlred by the base walls of the awaited angles. Here is c0tWen- trateda wealth of enrichment, great) roll mouldings, each differently treated,' oarvwrclustered capitals, wall bands and friezes, appropriately enticing the chameter of the building. The grand entrance archway is made fissely and most practically effective by an ap- proach of successive platforms and; short/flights of steps, which give digni‘; fied amord between porch, loggia and/ steps. Above the hfeferttazuiceporUa,i the central arch of which is 18 feet wide by 24 feet high, are three very large arched windows which light the legislative chamber from the south. Above these windows stretches the great sculptured frieze--a carved fiUV- face 69 feet long and 15 feet deep, in lowrrelief, peopled with syanholie seulp- tune, so disposed and grouped ms to monform to the four circular win- VdOWS introduced therein, and in the centre the seal of the province. This well designed allegorical treatment of frieze not only enhances thearefinement and purity of the architectural screen below, but most appropriately expires es-Jthe power and authority which has its-throne beneath those roofs. 1On either side of this grand central pavilion are the east and west. iaterme- diate wings and corner pavilions, stretching out this principal facadeto a. length of 433 feet. Each sectioni-is in proper scale and proportion to the legislative pavilion, preservimg the same dignified symmetry between part and part, and yet varying in the successive stareys and in general massing, so as to clearly indicate the relative importance and purposes of the different apart- ments. The buildings in plan form a double letter E., covering an area exceeding 76,000 square feet. In its principal features the arrangement is the same on all floors, excepting as regards the grand staircase,, which is one flighe only, beginning on the groundfloor and eading direct to the spacious lobby of the legislative chamber. This staircase with its ample dark slate treads, red tasselated paved platforms and richly reated wrought and cast iron metal work, is consonant in feeling with its New Legislative Queen’s Park, To THE EAST AND WEST TEENS THE INTERNAL ARRANGEMENTS, of the trite-The Damiano” or native cnionber, ~Arrnngemcnt oepttrt""uts--rttts Speaker'l kiln: “brat! mm Other Ac- tive Bdifioe in '., Toronto, surruundings, well disposed oughly lighted.

The speaker's dais, executed in San Domingo mahogany, richly carved, is placed at the snvh end, with the press gallery immedi- ately behind and forming, as it were, a . A -.. , , RT part: thereof. The sperdcitr's gallery, treated in uniformity, runs across the opposite or north end, and on either side are located the ladies7 and visitors' galleries, These latter are greatly increased in beauty by the massive arcades fronting them, and they are admirably successful as to sight lines, as every member ot the Mor of the charm bercan beseenthmefrom from whatever ', point be may arise to address they house. The lower walls of the chain-i, her to the height of nine feet are wainl scottad in panelled, moulded and carved sycamore and mahogany, and ahtwe this the plaster is richly deem rated and moulded in low relief. aurEDECOInsrrons or THE CHAMBERS. , In keeping with the design of the l building the decoration of the legislat- ive chamber is in the Romanesque style, the Rigorous forms and florid coloring of that school being well ex- emplified in the treatment. The main portion of the ceiling is taken "AP with a free 'rendition of the arms of the! province, the coloring of the fields being obtained with diapers of maple leavesand the framing a heautifuil scroll, through which is entwined a maple branch. The novelty of the design has been criticised on account of the disregard of the wood ribbing, the lines breaking throughit at all points, but a glance at the design of the wood ribs shows that a iareful fol- lowing, of each panel with a border would have produced a. heavy and monotonous effect. The freer treat- ment adopted is justified by many of the finest examples of European ceiling work. The large eight-foot cove‘con- itains an upright design in Romanesque foliage, with medallion Cformsiu =the ,,," centre of each panel formed why the :1 carved trusses. This covehas been _ deservedly admired for vthe "skilful ‘ handling of strong color displayed. In the spandrills formed by the window arches and tympanum arches of the north and south wallrare four colossal groups of figures representing "Moderation," “Power,”“‘lustice” and "Wisdom," surrroundedhy heavy scrolls, while in the spaadzi0sron the east and west walls two fit,yuresyiarry tablets, on which are inscribed the dates "1792" and "1892," the years respect» ively in which the legislature was inaugurated and tltercer1tenary of the same. The beautifully modelled en- richment of the arches is ntreated in warm tones, wiped with ‘rztnansparent color and resembling somewhat a stained or antique marble. The whole scheme is of oeurse studi- l ed mainly for a night effect, but when the broad glare of iliirht from the vast south windows is subdued the day effect will be equally :satisfaetory. THE DEPARTMENTS. The departmental quarters occupy the whole of the east wing and east central section of the buildings, and on the ground floor ovedlow into the west central section, where the crown lands section of the administration has its home. The commissioner, with his personal staff, occupies the suitein the east corner pavilion, and the many ( branches of this extensive department, including the sales and free grants, the surveys, patents and made, the woods and forests, accounts and the mining bureau, are accommodated in the oiriees on either side. The north.. ern end of the eastern extension is given up to Hon. Mr. Dryden and his department of agriculture, the bureau of industries and the off1eers of the inspeetor of factories, l V The main wahs are simply panelled with a gold border, and area rich yel- low brown. The mezzanine, or first floor, is (wow pied as bathe east wing by the officers of the attorney-general and his staff in the corner pavilion, with the council chamber adjoining, and to the north in the same wing are the quarters of Hon. J. M. Gibson, provincial secretary J the inspector of asylums and prisons, the department of insurance, and the offree of the inspector of division courts, The second Mor of the east wing accommodates the public works depart- ment in the corner pavilion, where the otfiees of Hon. C. F. Fraser and his staff are located. The provincial treas- urer, Hon. Richard 1Vrrcourt, has his quarters in the northern portion of the same floor, while the license depart- meat, the department of the adminis- tration of justice and the oftices of the registrar-general are provided for in the northern portion of the east central section, Above these, in the attic pavilion, the draughtsmen of the architeet's and engineer’s departments have a local habitation, THE LEGISLATIVE CHAMBER and l 'tep. mi WENTRAL SECTION. The gfuund floor of the central sec- tion, west of the main entrance, is given up, as already stated, to the overflow from the crown lands depart- ment. Above this, on the front floor, are'lthe postofPS members' hat and coat rooms, and members' lobbies ; and the eorrssportdiryr, section on the second floor is utilized for the approaches and antty-roottts to the several galleries of the legislative chamber will the ladies' rewiring rooms. THE WEST WING'. The ground iloor of the west wing is arranged for committee moms ; Mr. Speaker's apartments, with separate private entrance); the Queen's printer's quarters, etc, On the first floor are the balance of the speaker’s suite; mem- ber's smoking mum-n, dming and reeey" tion rooms; the library and lihcariau'ss quarters; the reading room, and ad- ditional eomtwittee moms , and the second floor is Reverted to reporters' rooms and toowaekeepev's quarters. The basement also provides no incon- siderable ae,ayovrsoclation, in addition to the boiler house, furnished with six tnultitubular steel boilers, and machin- ery for the manipulation of the vast [ and intricate heating, ventilating and electric lightingsys’tem which supplies the whole building. Here are located the carpenter’s shop, and quarters for the mechanical engineer and the plumber. Under the speaker’s quarters in the west wing, are placed the restaurant, kitchens, cater- er's4lepturtsment? and living rooms, and l thetlaundry. There are also five spa- ciems vaults for the storages of the deeds and documents of the crown lands department, and storage rooms “for the Queen's printer and the posts Hamster. Raheum.
