Saskatchewan Legislative Building
The Saskatchewan Legislative Building was built between 1908 and 1912 in the Beaux-Arts style to a design by Edward and William Sutherland Maxwell of Montreal.[2][3] The design contemplates expansion of the building by the addition of wings extending south from the east and west ends and coming together to form a courtyard.[4] The total cost of construction came to $1.75 million by the time of its opening in October 1912, ten months after the assembly had begun meeting in the yet-uncompleted building.[11] Of historical significance, the table that was used during the meeting of the Fathers of Confederation in Quebec City in 1864 resides in the building's library, albeit with six feet of it removed.The commissioned statue of Louis Riel by John Cullen Nugent unveiled in 1968 stood on the grounds of the legislature until 1991, when it was removed at the insistence of the Saskatchewan Métis Society and others.Some found the work demoralizing for depicting Louis Riel in a "disrespectful" manner: "gaunt" and semi-nude, in the moment of ultimate Métis humiliation.
