This is currently A Courthouse. The Good Thing Is It Is Preserved And Used. The Negative Is That It As A Functioning Court House Is Full Of Security And Not Designed For Tourists. If You Are A Student Of Deign And History Very Much Worth A Visit.

The experience is like when we were kids, skating outside. While the view of beautiful 'Old City Hall' sets the mood.
It is part of the Toronto history. It has lots of character and great architecture from another age.
Unless you're a lawyer. No matter where you go in this building there is no way out but the front door. Going to a court date, take the day off! make sure you pay for you parking in advance... IN the Summer this place gets very very hot inside.. the building itself is Old City Hall, and a nice contrast...

This was a nice alternative to the constant hustle and bustle of the main tourist attractions. The architecture of the building was nice and it didn't look out of place amongst all the skyscrapers and modern buildings
The third stop on our self-guided walking tour of downtown Toronto was at the steps of Old City Hall. What a lovely building! We were just stopping by, so we didn't look into whether there might be tours of the interior - we didn't even wander into the lobby to see for ourselves.
In any case, we were impressed with...

We were there to contest a parking ticket but could not help but admire the old girl's bones. The wide staicase and polished bannisters, the old tiling ar all charming. The building has an interesting history and structure. In winter we have been to Sound and Light shows that were excellent.
Nice old castle like building. Its currently a court building. Its open everyday. Just read the signs for which door to use to enter. There isnt much else to say.
It was nice to look at, well designed a complete contrast to the new. A tip for photography, there is a glass skyscrapper next to it and if your standing on the sidewalk facing the new town hall and look at the skyscrapper you can see the clock tower reflected back. It's a cool effect.
Hard to imagine this was the old building that ran the city when you look at the new one. Beautiful architecture, hard to compare with ancient Europe, but none the less for Canadian buildings it is excellent!
