| The Kingston city hall was built according to the plans of George Browne in 1842-1844, when the town had just been designated capital of Canada and had hopes of remaining so. The impressive building, designed in a somewhat severe neo-classical style, underwent a number of modifications in the following years. Some of the changes were based on the plans of John Power, including that of the dome rebuilt in 1908. John Power Fonds, 81203/19, project no1908-3, item no 1 |
