Inscription
The Halifax City Hall, erected between 1887 and 1890, is the
largest and one of the oldest municipal buildings in Nova Scotia.
Designed by a local architect, Edward Elliot, its elegant facade
features an attractive and eclectic blend of decorative elements
often found in Victorian architecture. This historic building is
representative of city halls found during the 19th century in
progressive, moderately sized Canadian cities with highly developed
municipal services. Civic pride and optimism are symbolized by
its monumental scale, elaborate design and prominent location
on the Grand Parade.
Cet édifice érigé en 1887-1890, est le plus grand et l'un des plus vieux hôtels de ville de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Conçu par l'architecte Edward Elliot, ce bâtiment offre un intéressant mélange d'éléments décoratifs d'origines diverses, à la manière typique de l'architecture victorienne. Il est un bon exemple des hôtels de ville canadiens élevés au XIXe siècle dans les villes de taille moyenne dotées de services municipaux très développés. La fierté et l'optimisme des citoyens s'expriment
dans les proportions monumentales de l'immeuble, dans son architecture élaborée et dans son emplacement sur l'esplanade.
