This is what City Hall almost looked like in Toronto Toronto CityHall
The futuristic-looking building designed by Viljo Revell that currently sits to the northwest of Bay and Queen streets was, however, one of many possibilities that were proposed for the site.
For the sake of brevity, I'll focus on the years immediately leading up to the selection of Revelll's design, but for a more nuanced overview of the many plans leading up to this point, see Mark Osbaldeston'sOne of the original designs for City Hall by the architectural firm Marani & Morris, Mathers & Haldenby, and Shore & Moffat.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the complex was widely criticized for its drab and boxy design. Particularly vocal was the architecture department at the University of Toronto, and even Frank Lloyd Wright surmised that the plan was"already dated" .
