Vancouver City Hall opened December 4, 1936, and was designated a heritage building in 1976.
The building was designed by the architectural firm of Townley and Matheson, and built by the Carter-Halls-Aldinger Company. The $1 million construction cost was provided by a special bond issue.
Built during the depths of the Depression, this landmark structure visioned by Mayor G.G. McGeer was both a make-work project, and a symbol of the newly enlarged city, the result of amalgamation with Point Grey and South Vancouver.
