Fredericton City Hall

Fredericton City Hall is a three-storey red brick building located at 397 Queen Street in downtown Fredericton. The structure features a high hipped roof, a prominent clock tower, and decorative polychrome masonry patterns throughout its facades.

The building was designed and constructed between 1875 and 1876 by architects McKean and Fairweather in the Second Empire style. It was recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1984 and remains the oldest municipal hall in Atlantic Canada.

The upper floor once held an opera house where local residents gathered for performances and events. The basement operated as a public market where people shopped for food and goods for many decades.

The building stands on Queen Street in the heart of downtown Fredericton and is easily accessible on foot. Nearby shops and restaurants make it a convenient stop while exploring the city center.

The building's distinctive red brick appearance and clock tower make it instantly recognizable and a landmark in Fredericton's skyline. It has continuously served its original purpose in city governance while being carefully updated to meet modern needs.
