This is what the interior of the Mayor’s office in Toronto looked like in 1898. In 1958, an international design competition to design New City Hall resulted in Revell’s now-familiar building and public square, now known as Nathan Phillips’ Square and New City Hall.

The Origins of St Giles'
There is record of a parish church in Edinburgh by the year 854, served by a vicar from a monastic house, probably in England. It is possible that the first church, a modest affair, was in use for several centuries before it was formally dedicated by the bishop of St Andrews on 6 October 1243. The parish church of Edinburgh was subsequently reconsecrated and named in honour of the patron saint of the town, St Giles, whose feast day is celebrated on 1 September.
The Covenanters
In 1638, those opposed to King Charles’ plans to reintroduce episcopacy in Scotland signed the National Covenant. In 1643, following a split amongst those who disagreed with the king, the Solemn League and Covenant was drawn up and then ratified by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, then meeting in the Preston Aisle of St Giles’. The National Covenant may still be seen today in the Preston Aisle.
That St Giles, a 7th century hermit (and, later, abbot) who lived in France, became the patron of both town and church was probably due to the ancient ties between Scotland and France.
According to legend, Giles was accidentally wounded by a huntsman in pursuit of a hind and, after his death in the early 8th century, there were dedicated to him hospitals and safe houses for cripples, beggars and lepers were established throughout England and Scotland within easy reach of the impoverished and the infirm. St Giles is usually depicted protecting a hind from an arrow, which had pierced his own body, a fine relief of which rests in the tympanum over the west (main) doors of the Cathedral.
St Giles' in the Middle Ages
St Giles' was founded in the 1120s when the Scottish royal family, the sons of Queen (Saint) Margaret and King Malcolm Canmore, especially David I (1124-1153) made strenuous efforts to spread Catholic Christian worship throughout the Scottish lowlands.
This church was probably quite small, Norman (i.e. Romanesque, with rounded arches and elaborate carving) in style, like others built at the same time. Few traces of it survive in the present building.
In 1385, a much larger church (early Gothic, pointed arches and simple octagonal pillars) was partially burned. No record has been found of the building of this second church. It was quickly repaired.
Over the next 150 years many chapels were added. These included chapels set up by the craftsmen's guilds of Edinburgh, chapels endowed by prominent merchants and nobles, and a chapel for a relic of St Giles. By the middle of the 16th century, there were around fifty altars in the church.
The Church becomes a Cathedral
For more than a century after the Reformation, worship in St Giles’ was disrupted by the disagreements about church government. In 1633, King Charles I appointed Scottish Episcopal bishops in Scotland and in 1635 William Forbes became the first bishop of the new diocese of Edinburgh, with St Giles’ as its cathedral, which it remained until 1638 and again from 1661-1689. That St Giles’ is commonly called a cathedral dates from this period.
St Giles' in the 20th and 21st Centuries
In 1911 the Thistle Chapel (architect: Sir Robert Lorimer) was completed, to be used by the Knights of the Thistle, Scotland's order of chivalry. Though small, it is in 15th century high Gothic style and full of elaborate carvings in wood and stone and of colourful heraldry.
Over the last hundred years or more, St Giles' has hosted important events including state occasions and services of national thanksgiving.
A new restoration programme began in 1977. In addition to essential repairs to roof, stone and glass, the interior has been lightened, the focus of worship moved from the east end to a new sanctuary in the middle of the church ("the crossing") and a magnificent new organ installed. Space has been converted from old cellars and crypts for meeting and eating. Much remains to be done

Very tragic that a fire in mid June 2018 destroyed this building and artifacts.
We've used this old hanging fixture in at least four different rooms over the years. It is now hanging in a tiny hall area off the office/exercise room. I think this is it's final destination.
These Lovely Little Lights add great detail & focal interest
to this nook created by Built-in Storage. The sconces are 18" long by 4.25" square.
They are built on a Stainless Steel frame- then clad with a Rice Paper Composite I developed (TOP SECRET!) and later sealed to prevent marring of the Paper Composite. The final result is a material that is tight as a drum.

In 1924, construction began on the Mizpah Shrine Temple, promising to provide Northeast Indiana with a much-needed community meeting place to host speakers and theatrical productions as well as banquet facilities. The auditorium sat over 2,400 patrons, while the Banquet Hall could seat over 2,000.
Construction began in April 1924, using about 200 workers. Local labor was employed as much as possible in the project. The excavation of the Ballroom took two steam shovels and six weeks to complete. More than 350,000 bricks were used in the construction with hundreds of barrels of cement mixed with gravel and water. The building was said to be the most "fire-proof" structure in the city at the time.
On November 18, 1925, the Mizpah Shrine celebrated the grand opening with their ceremonial and grand ball. The first public event that weekend was a performance of "Aida," performed by the Chicago Grand Opera Company. Many premier events followed that grand opening weekend, including "Ziegfield Follies" with Fannie Bryce and a young Eve Arden, Mae West in her controversial play "Sex,"
In 1937, during the Depression, the Mizpah Shrine lost the temple into receivership. Kaplan Realty bought it at a reported cost of only $52,500.
in the 30's and 40's, the Ballroom was used as an indoor golf course. Army recruiting offices were also housed in the facility for a time.
In 1945, the Quimby Theater chain leased the Auditorium for a 20-year time period at a reported $380,000.
In 1953, the Scottish Rite purchased the Auditorium and Ballroom from KMK Realty Co., and purchased the remainder of the Quimby lease. The original Scottish Rite Cathedral was located on Washington and Clinton streets, but was torn down over ten years after the Scottish Rite moved to the current facility.
In 1958, a large renovation (and the last major renovation prior to current efforts) was conducted, which included updating the Valencia Ballroom, kitchen, sound system, new auditorium curtains, installation of a Wurlitzer concert organ and painting the Horseshoe Lobby.
