| Old City Hall and its entrance |
Old city hall is one of the most well-known heritage buildings in downtown Toronto. It housed the Toronto city council from 1899 to 1966. Presently it serves as a courthouse for the Ontario Government. The building is richly carved in Romanesque style.
Clock Tower and its gargoyles. In ancient and medieval times gargoyles were placed to ward off evil spirits and to divert rainwater away from the building walls. In modern architecture, these are used for aesthetic purposes only.
