Originally a tavern and lodging house, this building has held numerous important functions over the years. As the primary seat of elected government for decades, the Colonial Building was home of Newfoundland's legislators until the Confederation Building was opened in 1960. The Colonial Building later became the home of the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador, which were later moved to The Rooms cultural complex on nearby Bonaventure Avenue. The Colonial Building is currently undergoing restoration work. Near Government House, St. John's. Phone 709-757-8030.
