The Legislative Building is the meeting place of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario located in central Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The neoclassical building was completed in 1920 and stands seventy-seven meters tall (253 ft). It was designed and built by Frank Worthington Simon and Henry Boddington III, along with other Masons and many skilled craftsmen. Frank Simon (1862-1933) was a former student at the École des Beaux-Arts which taught students neoclassical art, architecture, geometry, drawing, painting, sculpture, engraving, philosophy, astronomy, and mythology.

The Legislative Building is open every day of the year (including Saturdays and Sundays) for self-guided tours from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The Legislature also offers guided tours at various times.
