Happy 125th Birthday to Toronto's “Old” City Hall, which formally opened #OnThisDay#OTD#cityhall#oldcityhall#architecture#grandopening#government#1890s#19thcentury#municipal#history#tdot#the6ix#torontohistory#toronto#canada#hopkindesign

The municipal government of 1899 made a point to properly celebrate the occasion. Opening ceremonies began at noon and lasted into the evening with ten hours of continuous live music provided by the Governor-General’s Body Guards’ Band and the 48th Highlanders.
