Old City Hall


I love the look of Toronto's Old City Hall. It is now used as a courthouse. Although you can visit inside, you can't take photos. But there's lots of nice photo opportunities from the outside!

Magnificent overall with beautiful detail. That's what a municipal building should look like!

Your city hall really is one of the most beautiful buildings, in one of the most beautiful settings in the world.

Lovely old ornate building; I'm so glad it's still in use as a public building.

@Tanya - building was completed in 1899. They actually wanted to tear this place down in the 60s to build a new shopping mall. :S Luckily, it was saved!

Can you imagine anyone trying to carve stone like in this century?
Nor can I. E.J Lennox is one of my favourite architects.

Randy said...

I love all of the details.

Oh, this one is a beauty, Halcyon.

C'mon . . . you must have good sneaky pic technique by now. Go on. Your public demands some inside shots.

I hate the new word verification. Since I have trouble reading those "words", I am assuming others do too.
