A THING OF BEAUTY: The Early Years Of Toronto’s Old City Hall

Details

Join us at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema to explore the dramatic history and breathtaking architecture of this magnificent landmark. Built in 1899, Old City Hall survived the 1904 Great Fire and a near-demolition for the Eaton Centre.

This film, directed by Michael Kainer, is a passionate call for preservation, offering an exclusive, stunning look inside at the murals, stained glass and courtrooms. Hear the story from planners, judges, and staff. Discover why this currently shuttered building is the heart of Toronto and join the crucial discussion about its future.

This screening is presented in partnership with Toronto History Museums (THM) and the filmmaker, Michael Kainer.
