Looking north towards the Old City Hall at 60 Queen St W in downtown Toronto.
The construction of this Richardson Romanesque-style building designed by architect Edward James Lennox began in 1889 but wasn’t completed until a decade later due to many delays. It is interesting to note that the clock had not yet been installed in 1889.
The building became a dedicated courthouse in 1965 after the new Toronto City Hall opened. In 1973, the city granted the building heritage status.
