Description
The British Columbia Parliament Buildings, in Victoria, B.C., Canada, were constructed in 1893. Led by the famous architect Francis Rattenbury, they were deemed complete in 1897. Local materials, resources and expertise were used when building the Parliament Buildings, Granite rock foundations were brought in from nearby Nelson Island, the site facades were locally imported from Haddington Island and much of the local brick, lime and Douglas Fir were from Vancouver Island. Officially opened in February 1898, details, refinishing, additions and upgrades were on the go until 1915.
