The historical building of the late XIX century. After the construction of the new building, the city hall wanted to demolish the old one, but the townspeople stood up for the architectural monument. Nowadays, the existing city court is located on the territory of the old city hall. The ancient architecture of the building is favorably set off by modern buildings located in the surrounding area.

Very cool architecture with a large clock tower. Sticks out like a sore thumb but that's why it's the old city hall I guess! Had Nuit Blanche events in front of it.

Classic old building in downtown Toronto. The building is a nice architectural highlight in the area. The inside is not as well maintained but still nice to see. Definitely check it out if you're at the City Hall Area

Almost has a mini parliament hill feel to it. The romanesque style makes the building feel heavy when you first look at it.

Currently the court of justice , used to be the city council of Toronto. They have kept the front of the building same as it's over 100 yrs old and as per downtown's code, it can't be changed.

This building is one of the iconic historical building in Downtown Toronto. Worth a watch inside and out, kind of bringing out the elegance of the structure on its way. It's built in 1899 as per the art work specifies.
One of the major problems.. Read more » everyone face is the parking. It's very hard to find a spot nearby. Mostly would need to walk around a little if you finally get one. It's open only during weekdays, that's one of the problem all face. Weekdays they usually start around 8:30 AM and shuts off at 4:30 PM. I would recommend it if you're more into these kind of taste.

Can’t give it five stars because I’ve had to pay many parking fines in the building however the sound of the clock chiming in every hour is something I do enjoy!

Iconic landmark in Downtown Toronto - it kind of smells funny inside, it could likely do with some renovations back to it's original glory - but from the outside this is a total gem.
Security is very tight on the way in.
