Brampton City Hall, Government building in Downtown Brampton, Ontario
Brampton City Hall is a six-storey building at Wellington and Main Streets, designed by Robert J. Posliff Architect Inc. and completed in December 1990. It has a bell tower and a curved entrance with columns, and a two-storey addition. A glass walkway called Heritage Way links it to a nine-storey tower at 41 George Street, opened in 2014.
The site was Memorial Park, home to the Brampton Cenotaph unveiled in 1928 by Governor General Lord Willingdon; a downtown bus terminal later occupied part of it and closed before 1989. The six-storey building by Robert J. Posliff Architect Inc. was completed in December 1990 and occupied in June 1991, replacing earlier offices such as the 1854 Old Fire Hall, the Heggie Block and the Queen's Square Building.
The site was Memorial Park, named for the Brampton Cenotaph unveiled there in 1928 by Governor General Lord Willingdon; the park's name moved to Ken Whillans Square. The bell tower and clock tower give the complex two timepieces, and the Old Fire Hall of 1854 at 2 Chapel Street, once a market hall, now serves the Peel Company of the Lorne Scots.
Brampton City Hall stands at the corner of Wellington Street and Main Street in downtown Brampton, with the Downtown Transit Centre nearby for bus connections. The main entrance is reached by a curved colonnade off Main Street, and the 2014 tower at 41 George Street links to the hall via the glass Heritage Way walkway.
The 2014 tower at 41 George Street replaced a four-storey commercial building and a parking lot, part of the Southwest Quadrant Renewal Plan. It holds city staff, community rooms and retail space, and its clock tower keeps time over downtown Brampton.
