Lennox took three years to design the City Hall and it took 11 years to buildit. Contemporaries believe that the odd carvings (雕刻) above the Queen Streetentrance were actually caricatures (漫画) of councilors at the time.
Lennox even included himself in the caricatures, on the west side of thecentral arch (拱门), and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portionsof the building.

When the fourth City Hall (the one we know today) was declared open in1965, Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down. It was saved by a group ofpeople called the "Friends of Old City Hall. "
