Description
Overlooking Victoria's majestic Inner Harbour, the British Columbia Parliament Buildings are located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and are home to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. From 1856 to 1860 the Legislature of the Colony of Vancouver Island met at Bachelor's Hall at Fort Victoria. From 1860 to 1898 it was housed in the first permanent building at Legislative Hall or Legislative Council Court, a two-storey wooden building along with four other buildings known colloquially as "The Birdcages" because of their shape. The main block of the Parliament Buildings combines Baroque details with Romanesque Revival rustication The legislative chamber inside the Parliament Building
