Toronto Old City Hall
1. In 1899, a time capsule was placed in the cornerstone. It included money, maps, city records, newspapers, and other artifacts of the late 19th century.
2. Alderman Hallam was removed from the opening ceremony in 1899. Some say he was overcome by emotion and wept uncontrollably, while others say he was removed because he was the source of much of the scandal that plagued the building.
3. Old City Hall has been used in movies and television shows such as This is Wonderland, Flashpoint, and Dirty Pictures.
