Lonely Planet review

Across Bay St from City Hall is the Romanesque Old City Hall (1899), the definitive work of Toronto architect EJ Lennox, the same man who built Casa Loma. Lennox was chastised for inscribing his name just below the eaves here, tainting what was then the largest municipal building in North America. Now housing legal courtrooms, the hall has an off-centre bell tower, interesting murals, grimacing gargoyles and an allegorical stained-glass window.
