Toronto City Hall, also known as the New City Hall, is a prominent landmark in downtown Toronto, serving as the seat of the city's municipal government. Located at 100 Queen Street West, it stands next to Nathan Phillips Square, a public square designed and opened alongside the City Hall. The building replaced the Old City Hall, which had been in use since 1899. The City Hall was designed by Finnish architect Viljo Revell, in partnership with Toronto firm John B. Parkin Associates, and engineered by Hannskarl Bandel. The design was selected through an international competition that drew over 500 entries from 42 countries. The building officially opened on September 13, 1965. The complex consists of several elements: a podium, the Council Chamber, two office towers, and Nathan Phillips Square. The two crescent-shaped towers, one 27 stories and the other 20 stories, envelop the low-domed Council Chamber. Nathan Phillips Square is a popular public space featuring a skating rink in winter and the iconic Toronto sign. City Hall was designated as a heritage property in 1991 under the Ontario Heritage Act.
