Built in 1895-1896 on the site of the old Jesuit College, Québec City Hall is a grand building that fully accommodated the offices needed to administer the city’s extensive municipal services for many years. Its design by the prominent local architectural firm Tanguay and Vallée features an attractive blend of decorative elements often found in Victorian architecture. In 1929 a handsome addition was erected with plans drawn by architect Raoul Chênevert. With its monumental and elegant exterior and richly decorated interior, it is one of Canada’s most stately city halls.
