GUELPH CITY HALL Many Canadian cities erected well-designed municipal buildings during the mid-19th century railway boom. Guelph City Hall, one of the best of this group, symbolized the city's confidence in its future. Designed by Toronto architect William Thomas, it was constructed in 1856-1857. Although the interior has been altered, the smoothly dressed stonework and delicate carving of the exterior design provide an elegant and refined example of civic architecture in a classical style.

L' HÔTEL DE VILLE DE GUELPH Vers le milieu du XIXe siècle, durant l'ère du développement ferroviaire, de nombreuses villes canadiennes se dotèrent d'élégants bâtiments municipaux. Cet hôtel de ville, qui en demeure l'un des meilleurs exemples, symbolise la confiance de Guelph dans son avenir. Conçu par l'architecte torontois William Thomas, il fut construit en 1856-1857. Bien que l'intérieur ait été refait, la maçonnerie en pierres lisses et les sculptures délicates de l'extérieur offrent un exemple élégant et raffiné d'architecture municipale de style classique.

The Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania stands under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
