Osgoode Hall is a historic 19th-century landmark in downtown Toronto at 130 Queen Street West. Built starting in 1832 and named after the first chief justice William Osgoode, it is a famous center for law in Ontario featuring grand Georgian and Palladian architecture, green lawns, and a famous iron fence!
