The British Columbia Parliament Buildings began operation officially during 1898. The grand scale of its 500-foot-long andesite façade, central dome and two end pavilions, the richness of its white marble, and combination of Baroque rigorous symmetry, use of domes and sculptural massing with the rusticated surfaces of the then-popular Renaissance style.

STOP 5: The Empress Fairmont Hotel

A historic landmark located in Colwood, British Columbia, Canada. It was originally built in 1908 by James Dunsmuir, a prominent industrialist and politician, as his family’s residence.

The castle’s architecture is a blend of Scottish baronial style and Arts and Crafts style, featuring turrets, towers, and a grand hall with a fireplace made of Italian marble.
