The detail in the columns at the entrance to the Old City Hall in downtown Toronto, Ontario, takes weeks of work to achieve. This kind of detailing is not often noticeable to everyone, especially as it is at the top of the column and not everyone will look up and see it. However, this kind of detail is important to the building's overall look as it gives it a more sophisticated look and adds to the grandeur of the building. The fact that this same design is on every column and has to be consistent takes even longer to get right and even more skill to employ.
The Old City Hall building served as...
... the home of the city council from 1899 to 1966 and is still one of the most recognizable buildings in Toronto today. The columns and grand steps leading up to the entrance and the clock tower in the centre of the building makes it so easy to recognize.
There was a time when this building was slated for demolition and was going to be replaced with skyscrapers, but due to overwhelming opposition, the city abandoned the plans and kept the old building as a landmark for the city.
The building has been used for film and television due to its ornate and unique feel and its ability to become a variety of locations.
