"Perched atop of a promontory overlooking the North Saskatchewan River Valley is the important and impressive Alberta Legislature Building. The seat of the province’s government, it boasts some beautiful Beaux-Arts architecture and lies amidst lots of lovely leafy grounds which are dotted with both memorials and statues. Affectionately known as ‘the Ledge’ to locals, the large landmark was completed in 1913 with its iconic dome presiding over a pretty portico propped up by massive columns."
"In the midst of a park-like garden, where the last Fort Edmonton once stood, is the 1913 Legislature Building. It's an imposing and attractive building, and from the terrace there are beautiful views across the North Saskatchewan River to the far bank. Guided tours are the best way to learn about the history of what the locals refer to fondly as "the Ledge," including its architecture and secrets of the building."

"Nah, just the most beautiful and extravagant bathroom you've ever seen!. Borden Park is super cool because they have tons of public art pieces, and this pavilion fits right in. The mirrored triangular panels almost camouflage the building in the daytime."
