Stratford City Hall information


Stratford City Hall
A blue sky is the background for a red brick building extending past the frame of the photograph to either side. At bottom right is a portion of an arcing flowerbed, populated with orange flowers in full bloom, to their left a curving walkway and a decorative iron bench. The pathway leads to stairs, wide at the bottom and narrowing to the entrance doors, with a central iron railing and bounded at each side by a short brick wall, from which base protrudes a black iron pole with four visible light globes. Above the door are three framed windows, above them two more inset at the end of a cross gable, on each side of which is visible the main structure's roof sloping towards the viewer. Behind the gable rises a tower, atop which is a clock, all surmounted by a pole from which flies the Canadian flag.

Stratford City Hall is the city hall of Stratford, Ontario, and a National Historic Site of Canada. It sits amidst the city's business district, on a triangular town square.

The original town hall was built in 1856 and incorporated space for market stalls and other stores, in addition to providing space for a concert hall, police station, fire department, and council chambers. The building was destroyed by fire in 1897.

A competition was held for the design of a new city hall, with two winners announced, one incorporating the remains of the previous structure, one for a wholly new building. The latter was selected, and was completed in 1900. The building was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1976.
