Fredericton City Hall stands as the meeting place of Fredericton City Council in the heart of Downtown Fredericton, New Brunswick, near Phoenix Square. Designed by McKean and Fairweather and constructed between 1875 and 1876 by builders H. B. Crosby and O. M. Campbell, the three-storey structure exemplifies the Second Empire style. Its imposing exterior reflects its historical significance to the community. The building holds the distinction of being the oldest municipal hall in Atlantic Canada still in use for civic administration. A notable feature is its basement, which functioned as a public market until 1951—an unconventional dual purpose rarely seen in municipal buildings of the late nineteenth century. The Fredericton Police also maintained headquarters here between 1883 and 1971. Recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1984 and designated a local historic place, the building stands as an enduring symbol of civic life and community heritage.
