Provincial Historic Sites of Newfoundland and Labrador
  The Colonial Building
Built between 1847 and 1850, the Colonial Building stood as the centre and the principal focus of political activity in the province from 1850 to 1959. As the former seat of the Colonial Government, the meeting place of the National Assembly, and the original House of Assembly for the province after 1949, the building is one of the most historically important buildings in the province.

As part of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador’s plan to preserve and enhance the site a Management Plan has been finalized which lays the groundwork for the future development of the building and grounds. Once completed the site will become the centre of interpretation for the province’s political history and a central attraction for residents and tourists alike.
