VICTORIA HALL This building, designed by the architect Kivas Tully in a Victorian version of the Palladian style, is representative of the finer public buildings of mid-19th-century Canada. One of the most impressive town halls in Ontario, it reflects the economic optimism of the 1850s. It was constructed by the local firm of William and David Burnet at a cost of $110,000. The cornerstone was laid by Sir Allan MacNab on December 30, 1856, and the building was officially opened by the Prince of Wales on September 7, 1860.
