One of the greatest monuments completed in 1920 was the Manitoba Legislative Building, a remarkable structure with primeval temple designs from the New Eastern World. The building has been designed by Frank Worthington Simon (1863-1933), a man with an in-depth knowledge of architecture as well as aspirations from the philosophical doctrines of Freemasonry. The building was then used as one of the best sites for legislative assembly for committees, staffs, offices of the ministers and other government bodies. However, what is the real purpose why Legislative Manitoba was created?
To start with, we need to know the most important symbol - Manitoba Golden Boy sculpture atop the rotunda of the Manitoba Provincial Legislature. It was the Manitoba's best known structure, which embodied the spirit of eternal youth and enterprise. The boy was located on the dome of the building with his face turned to the North. He held some of the valuable resources such as minerals, fish, forest and hydroelectric power. According to some research, this monument was sculpted by Georges Gardet of Paris and casted at France in 1918 to make it more real. This significant figure has faced many danger circumstances because of the Manitoban war; however, his security was then restored after the reconstruction of the old dome.
The next significant symbol was the grand staircase, consisted of 39 steps made from brown-vein Carrara Marble. Georges Gardet of Paris was also the designer of each 2,268-kilogram bison. There were many speculations about the creation of these bison and how the architect designed them, but the Manitoban people considered it as their precious ancient symbol next to the Golden Boy,
Aside from the two magic bulls, guests would definitely love the grand staircase, with three flights and thirteen steps towards the Golden Boy, a room with a dome ceiling and tessellated marble border. Another symbol was a figure called as the Pool of the Black Star. It was considered as the symbol of Babylonian goddess Ishtar. Within the area of the Golden Boy, a Rotunda has been one of the most common areas designed for sacrifices. According to Frank's research, ancient Gods, led by Hermes received power via sacrifices of souls.
The Manitoba Legislative Symbols were not limited in the sacred rooms, but most of them were located on the roof and outside part of the building to represent how sacred the place was. The Pool of the Black Star, Holy Rooms, ancient God and Goddess figures, murals of Jesus Christ and sculptures are all designed to convey a message. Some interpreters opinionated that those symbols were related to fertility sex, love and even state matters. However, most of the people considered them as sacred things.
