The Manitoba Legislative Building is the meeting place of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba, in central Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It was originally named the Manitoba Parliament Building, not Legislative. The neoclassical building was completed in 1920 and stands seventy-seven meters tall (253 ft). It was designed and built by Frank Worthington Simon and Henry Boddington III, along with other Masons and many skilled craftsmen.

The Legislative Building was designed by Frank W. Simon who studied at the École des Beaux-Arts where many of the Masonic ideals in architecture such as the theoretical treatise of Jacques-François Blondel, the affinity for Egyptian architecture, and the strict observance of Vitruvian geometry were taught. With a fascination for sacred architecture, the Freemasons encoded their buildings with secret geometric orders and religious symbols that were hidden in plain view from the uninitiated.

The list of Masonic influences found in Simon's building is lengthy, but a few features are worth noting. The secret and secular society of Freemasons believe that their knowledge originates from ancient Egypt and in particular, Pharaoh Thutmosis III whose name is inconspicuously carved in a hieroglyphic inscription on the Sphinxes flanking the building's north pediment.The Mason believe that Thutmosis started a secret college for initiates in 1489 B.C.E and consider him to be the father of Masonry and the Rosicrucians.The hieroglyph reads "the everlasting Manifestation of the Sun-god Ra, the good god who gives life" The Sphinxes remain hidden from those at ground level.

Frank Simon is noted as the primary architect involved, a man who was heavily influenced by members of a masonic lodge called “Simple Hearts of the Polar Star”, which is underneath the wing of the Grand Orient of France. Simon originally had won a contest offered by the Manitoba government in 1911, but a shadow figure named Septimus Warwick actually has gotten the credit in Europe for working drawings of the building. Simon seems to be the front man for his masonic brothers. In the mind of Simon, execution of geometry in the building would rely on a divine miracle, and although the building was never completed due to financial problems and delays with World War I, having esoteric motifs conflict so intimately with Christian aspects makes for an undeniably transcending and sublime piece of architecture. In regards to why the building was built, Simon was quoted saying “Men and women cannot be happy or good in surroundings that are commonplace, ugly, uninspiring”. Using the “golden section” method which goes back to Vitruvius, Simon and his team achieve some perfection in the geometrical detailing, a certain sense of beauty that is undeniable.

Adhering to the conventions of an ancient temple, the Legislative Building also contains numerous references to Solomon's Temple--the preeminent symbol of Freemasonry. According to Albo, the Masonic Cubit (i.e. 14.4 inches) was employed as the unit of measurement for the Lieutenant-Governor's Reception Suite whose floor plan precisely replicates that of the Holy of Holies in Solomon's Temple. Comparing the religious functions of the High Priest to the constitutional duties of the Lieutenant-Governor--who ceremoniously reigns over every citizen in Manitoba, except for the Sovereign--the infusion of Freemason affinity for ceremonial duties in a public building in Canada is fascinating, albeit disturbing.

Winnipeg is a highly masonic city, and is still active in that regard. It has also been described as a place with a high level of psychic energy. Creator of Sherlock Holmes Conan Doyle once said of Winnipeg “I came away with the conclusion that Winnipeg stands very high among the places we have visited for psychic possibilities”. Doyle was in Winnipeg attending a seance at a house where several master masons used to gather to summon the dead.

As viewed from above, the building in the shape of the letter 'H'.
(a) 'H' is the 8th letter of the alphabet.
(b) 'H' is the first letter of the name of Hermes.
The total square footage of the building is 250,000 square feet (23,000 m2), with a total height of 242 feet (74 m) above ground level toped with a bronze statue, gilded with 23.75 k gold leaf, of the Greek God Hermes or the Roman God Mercury. The Legislative grounds cover 30 acres (120,000 m2) of landscaped grounds. Throughout the exterior and interior of the building are examples of Fibonacci Sequence, Golden Ratio and Sacred Geometry.

In 1911, the Manitoba Free Press commented that the architectural competition smacked of a "frame-up with some ulterior object in view." (Dec. 9, 1911) (In fact a scandal over costs and corruption which erupted in 1915 cost the Premier his job and sent the contractor to jail.) the had to delete two obelisks from the plans because of the missing funds, they managed one small one.

Erected in 1996 and commemorates Métis leader Louis Riel, the founder of Manitoba.
The original Temple of Solomon was constructed during the 10th century BCE, and was eventually brought to ruins by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. A second temple would be built four hundred years later in the same location as the first, in Jerusalem, on the holy city’s highest point of elevation. It was the center of worship, and generally a meeting place for the Jewish people of Jerusalem. The original was designed by Hiram Abiff who presented the plans to King Solomon. Historically, masons place Solomon’s Temple in very high regard; it’s place in the spiritual hierarchy, and as an initiatory theater of thought. Upon entering the MLB from the front you will enter a great hall which is a perfect square, and each side is 66.6 feet long. According to Albo, the 666 is a reference to the occult work “De Occulta Philosophia” by Cornelius Agrippa. While the number 666 is usually associated with the beast of revelation 13, there are several different possible meanings. Most relevant to the MLB according to the media, its relation to the sun and its power of life; one finds when you add the numbers 1 through 36 together it adds up to 666. The significance of 36 being the number of constellations controlled by the sun.

Temple Ideology
1.Represent human form (vitruvian man)
2.Divine machines and centers of energy(chakra's or sun energy)
3.Macrocosm and Microcosm
4.Triparte
5.Follow the proportions of sacred Geometry
They believed that the blueprint of god was exemplified in Nature, vitruvian man, and pentagonal Geometry. Freemasonry believed in Pythagoras view of "All things are number and God is Geometer.

this is going to come in several parts, more later
