"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."

16 Top-Rated Attractions & Things to Do in Edmonton | PlanetWare
"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."

Public Buildings | City of Edmonton
"Officially opening in 1913 as a residence for Alberta’s Lieutenant Governors, Government House was designed by Architect R.P. Blakey under the direction of A.M. Jeffers, Chief Architect of the Alberta Legislature Building, and constructed by the Department of Public Works. Designed in the Jacobean Revival style with Scottish Baronial elements, the three story sandstone building is grand in scale with asymmetrical façades, decorations, bay windows, balconies, and high gabled roofs with dormers."

"Probably your first thought when you see this structure, and the Government House is definitely that. Granted, it was originally built to house the Lieutenant Governors of Alberta but has since been repurposed to use for things such as Government ceremonial events, conferences and more. This would make for a great shooting location due to the Jacobean style of the building, something rarely seen in Edmonton."
