Stratford City Hall
This structure, built between 1898 and 1899, replaced a previous neo-classical building destroyed by fire. It was designed by architects G.W. King and J.W Siddall, who intended to match the colours of brick used at the Perth County Court House; however, supply problems forced the use of red brick. The design is high Victorian building with many Queen Anne features, including contrasting textural and bichromal wall materials, Flemish wall dormers, and neo-classical cupolas and arches. Combined with its solitary placement in the centre of the city, it was meant to be reminiscent of a Dutch Raadhuis. The geometry of the building is that of a dodecagon on either side of the outside triangular stairwell, and a hexagonal shape on the side facing Stratford’s Market Place. The clock tower is also hexagonal.
