Description
This is just one sample of the intricate stone work at Old City Hall in downtown Toronto. It was designed by a Toronto architect named E. J. Lennex back in 1889, with the intent of this building becoming both a City Hall and a Court House. The total cost was expected to be $300,000 (back then).
Being inspired by Chicago architect H. H. Richardson, Lennox planned a Romanesque design incorporating various Chicago ideas. His design of City Hall became truly creative and original. Its massive red sandstone blocks were from a quarry at the Forks of the Credit River Valley. When the building was officially opened in September 1899, it contained 5.5 acres of floor space and cost $2,500,000!
Hope you like this one too.
