Looking northeast towards the Old City Hall and York County Court House, serving today as an Ontario Court of Justice, is located at 60 Queen St W in downtown Toronto.
Construction began in 1889, and after many delays, it was completed a decade later. Architect Edward James Lennox designed the Richardson Romanesque-style building. In 1965, the building became a dedicated courthouse when the new Toronto City Hall opened. The building received heritage status from the city in 1973.
