Stratford City Hall

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 s

pace 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.
