| IPTC INFO | | Caption | In the West Block there are five fair buildings designed by architect George Gouinlock: the Horticulture Building now leased as a club the Dominion Government or Arts Crafts and Hobbies Building which has for the past decade hosted Canada's only Medieval Times the Music Building occupied by Immersion Studios the Press Building and a Firehall. The Ontario Government Building currently operated and refurbished by the Liberty Grand event corporation was created in 1926 and is one of the most architecturally stunning structures on the grounds. There are also two bandshells one of which is an historic building and a fair-sized park for relaxation. All of these buildings date from close to the turn of the 20th century. _______ This unique three-sided structure was built in 1926 to house the exhibits of the Ontario Government during each CNE. Constructed in the Beaux-Arts style by the architectural firm of Chapman & Oxley Liberty Grand formerly the Ontario Government Building marks the entrance to the grounds from the Dominion Gate of Exhibition Place. In 1986 the Ontario Government Building was designated as historically significant under the Ontario Heritage Act. ___________________ Uploaded on January 16 2007 by Grant MacDonald to http://www.flickr.com/photos/grantmac/359436692/ AttributionNoncommercial Some rights reserved | | Headline | LIBERTY GRAND unique three-sided structure | | URL | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhibition_Place |
