Whitney Block Ontario Government Building

The Whitney Block

One building from my walking tour about 2 weeks ago and I never uploaded the photo. So here it is for your viewing pleasure...

This is the Ontario Government Building of the Premier of Ontario. It also contains the offices of other government ministries. The building was built in the Gothic style in 1926 and the office tower was added in 1932. When it was complete it was among the tallest buildings in Toronto.

The tower is located at the corner of Wellesley and Queens Park Crescent. Across the street from the Ontario Government Buildings (Queens Park)
