Historical Attributes

This building was built in 1791 and was the seat of the first legislative assembly in Upper Canada.

Then it was used as army barracks in the War of 1812 and now it is home to an art gallery for original works by Canadian artists.

Being the second oldest building in Niagara has given this building a rich history and culture of creativity and inspiring minds.
