Charlottetown's Province House, a National Historic Site for its role in hosting the 1864 Charlottetown Conference and also the working home from Prince Edward Island's Legislative Assembly. Now, in the 150th year since the Charlottetown Conference, said conference is certainly being hyped.

The Legislative Assembly chamber itself was also open to tourists, or at least to their gaze.

I quite liked the view I had peering out one of the windows on the north face of the building, looking up over the cenotaph up University Avenue.
