Designed by architect Edward Elliot and constructed between 1887 and 1890, Halifax City Hall stands as one of the oldest and largest public buildings in Nova Scotia. Built in the Second Empire style from stone, it replaced the municipal offices previously housed in the old court house on the Halifax waterfront when it opened in 1890. The building became the seat of the newly created Halifax Regional Municipality in 1996 and now serves as the base for the Halifax Regional Council. Designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1997, it remains a municipally registered property.
