The Former Hokkaido Government Office is Hokkaido’s best-known symbol and the red star on its exterior wall is the symbol of the Hokkaido Development Commission.
Heading west on Kita Sanjo Dori, you’ll see the grand Former Hokkaido Government Office,
known by the nickname “red brick office,” standing as the street comes to a dead end.
The Former Hokkaido Government Office was used for approximately 80 years until
the new government office currently in use was built. Constructed in 1888,
the building is an example of American neo-baroque architecture.
Architectural details such as the warped glass created in the Meiji Period and
the heat-retaining double doors stored in an ornamental frame exude functional beauty.
The building and its exhibits on Hokkaido history are open to the public.
We recommend asking the volunteer staff for explanations about the building to appreciate its depth.
外壁の赤い星が開拓使のシンボル、北海道の象徴といえばこの建物
札幌の北3条通から西方面を望むと、突き当たりに堂々とした姿の北海道庁旧本庁舎が見える。
「赤れんが庁舎」の愛称で知られる煉瓦づくりの建物だ。現在使われている新庁舎ができるまで
約80年に渡って道政を担った旧本庁舎は、1888年（明治21年）に建てられたアメリカ風ネオ・バロック様式の建築。
明治時代に作られたひずみのあるガラスや、化粧枠にしまわれた寒さ対策の二重扉など、そこかしこに機能美が感じられる。
館内は一般に無料公開され、北海道の歴史をたどる資料を展示。時間さえゆるせば、
常駐している観光ボランティアスタッフの説明を聞き、建物の奥深さを感じてほしい。
