Kingston City Hall, Town hall in Kingston, Canada
The limestone building occupies an entire city block in downtown Kingston, featuring a neoclassical design with a central dome and clock tower.
Construction began in 1841 after a fire destroyed the previous municipal offices, with architect George Browne winning the design competition for the new structure.
Memorial Hall contains twelve stained glass windows commemorating battles of the First World War and served as the location where Prime Minister John A Macdonald lay in state.
The building functions as the administrative center for local government while offering space for public events and community gatherings throughout the year.
The structure includes an original market wing called the shambles, which housed butchers and grocers until a fire destroyed it in 1865.
