	Old City Hall (Toronto) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Toronto's Old City Hall was home to city council from 1899 to 1966 and remains one of the city's most prominent structures.
		Toronto City Council moved to the new city hall in 1965, and soon after plans were made to start construction of the Eaton Centre.
		The original plans called for old City Hall to be knocked down and replaced by a number of rather uninspiring skyscrapers, leaving only the cenotaph in the front.

	Infiltration: Toronto City Hall
		I think Toronto's City Hall is not only one of the most incredible buildings I have ever visited, but probably the single most significant building in Toronto's architectural history.
		As can be seen on City Hall blueprints, the building's subbasement is mostly one gigantic room, so we were constantly worried that an employee somewhere else on the level would spot our mischievous feet beneath all the pipes and vents.
		Once upon a time, City Hall was one of the tallest buildings in Toronto, and the Observation Deck on the East Tower's 27th floor was a popular attraction.

	New City Hall Toronto by Viljo Revell
		For a city with so much recent building and such a strong reputation as an attractive environment in which to live, Toronto has a notable shortage of original modern architecture.
		That it does have a Modernist New City Hall, however, is a credit to its citizens, who in a general plebiscite in the 1950s voted down a proposed Hall in the traditional Classical architectural style.
		The City Hall is at the north end of Nathan Phillips Square, with Bay Street running up the east side, Queen St W along the south, and University Avenue one block to the west.
