Town Hall 1873

During the 19th century, many villages and small towns across North Amercia constructed municipal meeting halls which served as political and social centres for their communities.

 

This is a particularly fine example of the type.

 

Still around today the Town Hall was completed in 1873 to celebrate the opening of a rail link to Lake Ontario, an event which appeared to herald the economic triumph of Port Perry over other nearby communities.

 

Noteworthy for its commanding site, the quality of its design and interior finishes; this building testifies to the vision and optimism of its sponsors.
