Known as "the Ledge," the Alberta Legislature Building was built from 1907 to 1913 in a grand Beaux-Arts style that borrows Greek, Roman, and Egyptian elements to show power and permanence. It sits on a high point overlooking the North Saskatchewan River valley, near the old Fort Edmonton trading post. The first session inside was on November 30, 1911. Now restored, the building and grounds are a lively place for families and visitors to enjoy Edmonton’s history. Landscape orientation.
