Toronto's City Hall has been an internationally recognized symbol of our city since the mid 1960s, but for decades before, its predecessor to the east was the centre of Toronto municipal politics. Designed in the Romanesque Revival style by famed Toronto architect E. J. Lennox, the building served as Toronto's City Hall from 1899 to 1966 before passing the torch to New City Hall, located across Bay Street to the west. In today's Photo of the Day, which was submitted to the UrbanToronto Flickr Pool by Maëlle Baud, we are given an aerial view of the historic building, which now serves the Ontario Court of Justice.
