In 1940, the Mackenzie monument was unveiled, commemorating William Lyon Mackenzie, as well as the establishment of responsible government in the Province of Canada. The front of the monument features a bust of Mackenzie from his chest to head, high, wide, and thick. The second portion of the monument is placed behind the bust, and is a bronze tableau that is long, wide, and tall; that runs parallel to the legislative building. On one end of the tableau stands a toga-clad, bent human figure standing tall clutching a law book. The monument and bust were sculpted by Walter Seymour Allward.
