Another way to see it

This is the Legislative Assembly Building in Victoria, BC as seen from its North-East corner.  As per Wikipedia, Francis Rattenbury, a recent English immigrant, 25 years old, entered the contest and signed his drawings with the pseudonym "A B.C. Architect". He progressed to the second round, signing his drawing "For Queen and Province" and eventually won the competition.

Interesting enough, Rattenbury had no formal training in architecture!
