This is the southern half of an Ontario Government office building situated east of the Ontario Legislature to which it is connected by tunnel. The building was erected in 1925 and the tower in 1932. The tower has sat empty since the late sixties.

Although initially quite luxurious, they fell into decline quickly. Recently the balconies were replaced – perhaps additional renovations were completed to help lessen the infamy of the complex.
