Built using Manitoba marble, the same stone that’s used on the capital buildings in Ottawa, and topped with by a Golden Boy. What has me laughing, though, is a secret that wasn’t revealed until about ten years ago, when Frank Albo was a young university student and looked up to contemplate two winged sphynxes decorating the façade.
He made the connection that typically, that duo would be the mark of a temple. Further research turned up other symbols: horned beasts, medusas, skulls, fibernaci references. Far too many to be mere coincidence. He wrote a paper about it, speculating freemasons actually designed it as a temple when it was built between 1911-1920. His thesis quickly circulated at the university and then on to the politicians at the legislature itself. 
The paper has spawned a book and documentary.
The politicos don't acknowledge or deny the findings, but people the world over are now fascinated by Winnipeg's Secret Code.
