The antechamber, which is located at the base of the dome rotunda, a shape that is common in all Canadian Parliament buildings, is officially the formal entrance to the Legislative Chamber of the Manitoba Legislative Building in Winnipeg City. It sits at the head of the grand staircase as well. The curve of the dome is 87 feet above the antechamber, which boasts eight Corinthian (a style of Ancient Greek and Roman architecture) columns surrounding the base of the dome.
A bust of the Greek God Hermes, the God of travelers, can be found between each of the columns, two of which can be seen in the photo.

This part of the building was built between the years 1913 and 1920, and the entire structure was built in the School of Beaux-Arts style; a grand tradition that begun and has continued in France. The architects of the building were Frank Worthington Simon and Henry Boddington III.
