Description
Another view of Osgoode Hall Law School shows the majestic design at its glory.
Osgoode Hall is a heritage building located at 130 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario. This historic site is the focus for legal activity in Ontario and has garnered attention for over 170 years. Osgoode Hall occupies six acres and
was acquired by the Law Society of Upper Canada in 1829. The name Osgoode Hall honours William Osgoode the first Chief Justice of the province. Osgoode Hall withstood more than ten major restorations. The front facade maintained its
originality and is basically unaltered to reflect the 1860 design.
The interior of Osgoode Hall possesses unique architectural achievements. The heritage courtrooms are from the late 1800's. Convocation Hall boasts ten gorgeous stained glass heraldic windows covering 4,000 years of law. The Great Library touted as the most beautiful room in Canada has an intricate ceiling, cork
floors and triple cube design. The rotunda is spectacular from the original
tiling on the floor to the elegant arched pillars surrounded by elaborate oil
paintings of former Chief Justices of the Province.
