Parliament building of Quebec
The Parliament Building of Quebec is an eight-floor structure in Quebec City, Quebec. It is home to the National Assembly of Quebec. The Parliament Building was designed by architect Eugène-Étienne Taché in a Second Empire style and built between 1877 and 1886, in the heart of Parliament Hill. The National Assembly first met there on 27 March 1884, even though the building was only fully completed two years later, on 8 April 1886. From the 1910s to the 1930s, the government built several adjacent buildings to expand its office spaces, creating a parliamentary complex, of which the Parliament Building is the main edifice. This structure is a successor of several earlier buildings, the earliest of which was built in 1620 and among which there were two other parliament houses that served as legislatures.
