The Québec City parliament building, built in 1859
After fire destroyed the Parliament of the Province of Canada in 1854, another building was constructed for elected officials on the same site in Québec City in 1859, based on plans by architect Frederick Preston Rubidge. This parliament building was used by members of parliament from the whole of the Province of Canada, a political entity covering what is now the southern part of Quebec and Ontario
