East Wing

The east wing of the Legislative Building features the original hallway architecture designed by Richard Waite. Iron columns support a pyramid-shaped roof, called a hip roof, and the walls are lined with oak paneling. The original skylight, designed by the Robert McCausland Company of Toronto, floods this space with natural light.

Originally home to government departments, this wing of the building now houses the offices of the Premier, Leader of the Official Opposition and Speaker. The east entrance, historically known as the Premier's Entrance, was designed so that individuals entering the covered archway, known as a porte-cochère (French for "carriage entrance"), could easily exit their carriages on to a landing and enter the building.
