Old City Hall (Toronto)Toronto's Old City Hall was home to city council from 1899 to 1966 and remains one of the city's most prominent structures. Work on the Romanesque Revival building designed by E. J. Lennox began in 1889. When it opened on September 18, 1899 it was the largest building in Toronto, and the largest municipal building in North America. It is located at the corner of Queen and Bay Streets, opposite the new City Hall in the centre of downtown Toronto. Today it is home to the municipal courts. It has a distinctive clock tower which can be seen the whole length of Bay Street from Front to Queen. The building is sometimes used to film movies and television shows, such as This is Wonderland.
