Charlottetown City Hall

per person

The City of Charlottetown is a flourishing community of approximately 40,500 people located on the south shore of Prince Edward Island.

Built in 1888, the Charlottetown City Hall is the oldest municipal hall in Prince Edward Island. Designed by Phillips and Chappell in the Romanesque Revival style often favoured for 19th-century civic buildings, it originally housed several services. A police station and a firehall with a stable were located on the ground floor, while council chambers, a court room and offices were found on the upper storeys. In 1931 a firehall addition was built using 1916 plans. The city hall’s grand scale and elegant design symbolize the pride and confidence felt by the city during the late 19th century.

Charlottetown is the capital city of Prince Edward Island, and is called the “Birthplace of Confederation” after the historic 1864 Charlottetown Conference which led to Confederation.
