Kingston was the long-time home of Prime Minister Macdonald; as a lawyer, he advocated many famed cases in this city. In honour of its relationship to this Prime Minister, the Queen's University Faculty of Law building was originally named Macdonald Hall. It is located on Union Street, designated to symbolize the union of Upper Canada and Lower Canada in 1841. The name was changed in 2020 after Macdonald's role in the establishment of the Canadian Indian residential school system led to community demands for the name change.
