Osgoode Hall Tour, a Landmark Building in Downtown Toronto, Canada
Osgoode Hall is a landmark building in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The original 2 1⁄2-storey building was started in 1829 and finished in 1832 from a design by John Ewart and W. W. Baldwin. The structure was named after William Osgoode,[1] the first Chief Justice of Upper Canada (now the province of Ontario).[2]
It originally served to house the regulatory body for lawyers in Ontario along with its law school (formally established as Osgoode Hall Law School in 1889) which was the only recognized professional law school for the province at the time.[3] It was constructed between 1829 and 1832 in the late Georgian Palladian and Neoclassical styles. It currently houses the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Divisional Court of the Superior Court of Justice, the offices of the Law Society of Ontario and the Great Law Library.

Canada is situated in the northern part of the continent of North America. It has the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Pacific Ocean to the west, and the Arctic Ocean to the north. It is the world's second largest country by area. Both English and French are official languages of Canada. This is indicative of its history as a sought after colony of both English and French powers.
Toronto, is Canada’s most populated city and the country’s financial and commercial center. It is also the capital of the province of Ontario. It is home to the University of Toronto which is a globally well respected post secondary institution.
Toronto is recognized as one of the most multicultural cities in the world bringing together a melting pot of cultures, languages and cuisines. The city is also home to the CN Tower, the tallest tower in the Western Hemisphere.
During the War of 1812, the United States launched an overwhelming ground and naval campaign (via Lake Ontario) on Fort York, which today sits just a few minutes away Downtown Toronto. The ensuing battle is now known as the Battle of York. The war ended with the conclusion of the Treaty of Ghent.
Osgoode Hall, Toronto, Ontario. Canada
Osgoode Hall is a landmark building in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The original 2 ¹⁄₂-storey building was started in 1829 and finished in 1832 from a design by John Ewart and W. W. Baldwin.
Today the building serves as the Court Of Appeals and Superior Court.
During my visit, I was able to walk into the court rooms and view some of the trials.
I also saw their library and many paintings on the walls as well as statues throughout Osgoode Hall.
I was kind of disappointed that nobody was available to offer ME any kind of tour, however, if I were in South America, I would have had No Problem In Securing A Tour!
In any case, I really enjoyed what I saw regardless!

Toronto City Hall tour (walking tour in 4k) - views from observation deck and snooping the facility
My Toronto city hall tour video which was filmed in 4k on May 25 2019 during the Toronto doors open event.
Visitors during the event were granted access to the building, including the 27th floor observation deck which give incredible views of the city- both to the north and to the south. Great views of condo buildings, office buildings, Old City hall, Osgoode Hall, Canada life building.
We also snoop around the second and main floor of the building having a look at the city hall facility. I didn't bother lining up to see the inside of the mayor's office, but people that wanted to see it were allowed to, provided they were willing to wait.

TLTV Ep 103 - Osgoode Hall
Osgoode Hall opened in 1832 and remains a Toronto landmark and the hub of legal life in Ontario. It currently houses the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Divisional Court of the Superior Court of Justice, and the Law Society of Upper Canada. The building also housed the Osgoode Hall Law School until 1969 when the faculty was relocated to the campus of York University in the North York community of Toronto.
The six-acre site at the corner of Queen Street West and University Avenue was acquired by the Law Society in 1828. At the time, the location was on the northwest edge of the city, which has since grown around the building. The building now sits in the heart of downtown Toronto.
Between 1838 and 1843, the hall was turned into troop barracks. When the Law Society regained possession in 1844, an expansion was designed and the West Wing and Library were built. From 1855 to 1857 the building was refurbished and enlarged again to accommodate courts with the original 1829 building becoming the east wing. From 1880 to 1891 the building was again expanded twice in order to accommodate the law school.
Despite the expansions, the hall presents a unified design in the Palladian style. The iron fence surrounding the lawns of Osgoode Hall has become a landmark in itself. Its distinctive iron gates are narrow and restrictive; it is a long-standing myth that they were designed to keep livestock out of the grounds of the hall and in the 1950s students did attempt to pass a cow through one of the gates (they failed). The gates were likely due to Victorian architectural fashion, rather than wandering cattle.
Two libraries are housed within Osgoode Hall: the Great Library of the Law Society of Upper Canada and a smaller library for judges. A War Memorial was added to the library in honour of the Canadian war effort. Behind the Great Library is the American Room, a more intimate room with a spiral staircase.
In this episode we will get a look at the building's facade before venturing inside. We'll see the Rotunda with its ornate tile floor and the memorial statue in the middle of the room. Then we'll head further inside to see the spectacular Great Library and American Room. We'll see smaller rooms like the Bencher's Reception Room and the Convocation Room before entering another grand room, Convocation Hall. We'll finish by visiting the courtrooms and watch as people from all over get to take their turn behind the bench.

Osgoode's Inaugural Artist in Residence Program
Osgoode Hall Law School’s inaugural Artist in Residence was Canadian-Croatian visual artist Cindy Blažević.
During the 2013-14 academic year, Blažević took photos of Kingston Penitentiary on the eve of its closing and worked with a group of Osgoode students to create a legal narrative of the perspectives of those whose lives have been intertwined with the prison including judges, prosecutors, defence lawyers, prison officials and former inmates.
