Beautiful Historic Structure Preserved for You to See
老市政厅的点评
点评：In the last two decades of the Nineteenth Century, Toronto grew rapidly from 84,000 to 238,000 which created the need for new civic infrastructure and administration. City Hall needed to move out of the St. Lawrence Market into its own building. The location was chosen where Bay Street dead end into Queen Street with clock tower perfectly framed by Bay Street. The design for the exterior was Richardson Romanesque which was used on several other prominent public buildings in Toronto around the same time, namely the University of Toronto and the Legislative Assembly for Ontario, better known as Queen's Park. I will say all of those building are beautiful structures but the best and most decorative has to be Old City Hall.
It is a beautiful building that we were fortunate to see on a number of occasions as it was close to our hotel, Toronto Hilton, and we took several walking tours of the city which provided great views of this building. I am sorry we were not able to get inside as there are some beautiful windows and woodwork in the interior.
There are many interesting facts about the structure. When built it include many of the local courts; however, it was insufficient to house city operations shortly after it was finished which prompted the current City Hall. When the new city hall was complete, it was planned for the Old City Hall to be demolish; however, citizens rose up to keep this grand structure. Interesting, that currently there is little use in the building, but it is speculated that the Ontario Legislature may utilize the structure while Queen's Park is being renovated. Finally, when the building was finished, specifically the tower, it became the tallest building in Toronto and Canada from 1899-1928 as the only building taller than 100 meters (330 feet), replacing the Cathedral of St. James steeple.
Regardless of the use, the building is a beautiful piece of Toronto's history that thankfully has been preserved, and you will be lucky to see it on your visit.

翻译：在19世纪的最后二十年里，多伦多的人口从8.4万迅速增长至23.8万，这催生了对新市政基础设施与管理机构的需求。市政厅因此不得不从圣劳伦斯市场搬迁至一座独立的建筑中。新址选在贝街的尽头与皇后街的交汇处，那里的钟楼恰好被贝街所环绕衬托，格外醒目。其外部设计采用了理查森罗马式风格，这种风格在同一时期也被用于多伦多的其他几座重要公共建筑，即多伦多大学和安大略省议会大厦——也就是大家熟知的皇后公园。可以说这些建筑都十分美观，但其中最出色、装饰最精美的当属旧市政厅。
这是一座非常美丽的建筑，由于它离我们下榻的多伦多希尔顿酒店很近，我们有幸多次前去参观。我们还进行了几次城市徒步游览，从这些路线上可以很好地观赏到这座建筑。很遗憾我们没能进入内部参观，因为那里的窗户和木制装饰都十分精美。
关于这座建筑还有许多有趣的史实。建成之初，这里容纳了多家地方法庭；不过在竣工后不久，它就已无法满足城市的行政需求，于是才有了现在的市政厅。新市政厅建成后……原本计划拆除旧市政厅；然而，市民们奋起反抗，才使得这座宏伟的建筑得以保留。有趣的是，目前该建筑几乎无人使用，但据推测，在皇后公园进行翻修期间，安大略省议会可能会启用这座大楼。最后，该建筑竣工后——尤其是其塔楼——便成为了1899年至1928年间多伦多乃至整个加拿大最高的建筑物，也是当时唯一一栋高度超过100米（330英尺）的建筑。用来取代圣詹姆斯大教堂的钟楼。
无论其用途如何，这座建筑都是多伦多历史上一件极为珍贵的瑰宝，所幸它得以保存下来。如果您有机会造访，能亲眼目睹它实属幸运。
