Provincial Offences Court

This Victorian Renaissance revival-style building served as Guelph’s town hall from 1856 to 2009 when the new city hall opened. Designed by William Thomas, it features carved stone, quarry stone quoins and a vermiculated key stone arch around the doors. In 2009, it was adapted as a courthouse, featuring original windows, crown mouldings, arched cells and a performance hall.
