City Hall of Quebec City, National historic site in Old Quebec, Canada
The City Hall of Quebec City stands on Des Jardins Street, featuring a high clock tower, steeply pitched roofs, and ornate dormers in Second Empire style.
The municipal building, completed in 1896, replaced the former Jesuit College that occupied the site from the 1730s until 1878.
The council chamber displays wooden wainscotting, decorated ceilings, and detailed railings that represent the skills of nineteenth-century Canadian craftsmen.
The structure extends across an entire block in the upper town section, with multiple entrance points accommodating the natural slope of the terrain.
Architect Georges-Émile Tanguay incorporated Classical, Medieval, and Châteauesque elements into the design of this municipal government center.
