The next Public Building to be
erected in Chaniottetown was a
Manket`1-louse, suitable to the re-
'qulroments of that early period.
A petitlvn of James Chalmers, to
the Lieut. Governor in Council,
dated 25th Qctober 1805, sets out:
:it your petitioner, during his
short residence in this town, has
found that none of the inconven-
iences attendant on an infant col-
ony more generally lamented than
the want oi’ a proper place of re-
sort, for both buyers and sellers,
of the common necessaries of life
in .this town. '
That your petitioner therefore
humbly conceivcs that from the
establishment of a Market House
in a convenient situation and un-
der proper regulations, many ad-
vantages uiust result to the public
at large. '
That your petitioner, at all
times ready to contribute his best
endcav»;\'.i towards an accommoda-
tion of :i nature so desirable, pro-
poses to erect a House suitable
|to the present exigencies of the
community provided your Excell-
ency may be pleased to approve
of the same, and ordain such rc-
ltrlctions as will enable your pe-
titioner to carry`lt into effect."

garding the undertaking '

---was erected on Queen Square. it
was built on the - centre- of the
Square on site now occupied by
the Provincial Building, anti was
afterwards removed to the ground
where the Post Office now stands.
-This building was fifty fect ln

was supported hy sixteen large

The question of better hotel
|ac<:oinmo<iations for the public has
int different times -been of consid-
erable interest to many of the peo-
`ple of Chanlottetown, and as early
as the 5th of August, 1810 it seems
to have _had an especial interest
for Francis Garobbo, one of the
public spirited citizens of that
early day. in a petition to thc
Governor in Council he says:
“That your petitioner having no-
ticed tlie inconveniences experienc-
ed by thc public in general, but
particularly by the gentlemen ob-
liged to attend the sittings of thc
General Asscm7hly_ of the want of
a proper house of entertainment.
in Charlottetown, affording suffic-
ient accommodation for gentlemen
and their families together with
good stibling for their horses.
Your petitioner, patronlz-ed by
several persons of respectabiiiay,
and hunibiy conceiving himself to
be sufficiently capable of conduct-
ing with propriety :in establish-
ment of the ahovc nature, has pur-
chased ground at a convenient sit-
uation in -Charlottetown, being Lot.
No. 60 fi.--st hundred, for the pur-
pose of building a Tavern or Ho-
tel with suiliabiie offices apprq-
priatcd to thc above purposes, sole-
ly to contain rooms of sufficient
dimensions to conveniently accom-
modate the most numerous societ-
ies; to be called the "Freemasons
Hotel, Italian Place."
Upon this petition the govern-
ment granted a loan of fifty pounds
to Francis Garoibbo to assist him
in his undertaking. In the con-
struction of this hotel heevidcnt-
ly mario considerable headway. for
on the ‘_‘3rd of October of the same
year he again petitioned the gov-
ernment for additional aid and ask-
ed that some gentleman -be appoint-
e_d to icnpoct the place. as ii. guar-
antee of the bona fides of his an
plicatiou. This second request,
however, was not granted by thc
government,
The town lot on which this lio-
toi was erected is in the centre of
the block which fmnts on King
Street and is directly behind Notre
Dame Academy.
This building had quite a his-
toric record. IHere, for more than
forty years. people _ol all classes
from town and country met-'twice
a week to do business _ with each
other and discuss the different
topics of the day. On special oc-
casions too it was a place for more
than ordinary interest. ~in 1838 ai
celebration of the coronation of
Queen Victoria. the Market House
was throw open and all day Urged
paid two fuinds, fifteen shllllngsl and thirty four pounds or about.

A short sketch of the Provincial
Building that for the past seventy
five years has occupied a com-
manding site on the centre of
Queen Square, Charlottetown, may
be‘of interest at least to some of
the. present -generation. The build-
illl. which cost fifteen thousand
pounds or about $48,000, is _one
hundred and fifty feet long, /lixty
feet wide and three stories high.
It has u portico on each side and
a wing on either side. Until Con-
federutim it was called “The
Colonial Building." A commission
to erect the building -was appoint-
ed in 1842 and plans and specifica-
tions were atlopied, und the work
of construction was at once coni-
benced. The late leans: Sniltii was
the Architect and inspector of the
work.
On the ltlth, of May, 18431, the
imposing ceremony of laying the
corner stone of the_(Tolonl:il iluild-

and with the governor, was a pro-

Justice, the Building Coninilssion,
Members of the Executive Council.
the Speaker of the Assembly,
Members of the llouse, Magistrates
and other public officials.
The following coins wcre placed
in a gin:-s vial which was scaled
and deposited in a cavity of the
stone .ind covered by a plate of
copper: A Sovereign, a Ilalf Crown,
it Shilling, :i Sixpence. ii Folli-

u One i’Penny, at llalf Pcniiy and A

Salute was fircd and I-iis Excel-
icncy gave a short but appropriate
speech. -
on the 26th. or June' 1s47. the
first session of the Sovontccntlr
General Assrenibly of Prince Eil-
ward Island, was opened in the
New Colonial Building and thc foi-
owing June the Supreme Court be-
gan its sitting there. _
For three quarters of a century
the Legislative Halls of this build-
ig resoiinticd with the voices of the
men who throughout that period
nliiiiltluti the public destines of

these were men oi’ the brilliant

lt is a soirce of deep and lasting'
pride, not only to the citizens of.
Charlottetown, `r,ut to the entire.
Province, that it vas in this build-‘

that Victoria Park, now within

In 1833 the Surveyor General
George Wright made it survey of
Charottetown marking every
-building in the town upon a plan
,und. acczirtiing to Wright's Survey.-,
