Calgary City Hall

The historical old sandstone town hall built in 1911 had become too small, so in 1986 a triangular and highly modern office complex was built; its glass front is visible from a long way off. The City Council meets here.

The old sandstone Town Hall still houses the mayor's office and has been declared a historic landmark. It was designed by W. Dodd in a Richardson Romanesque style. At the time it was built it was considered one of the most modern city halls in Canada.
