History
In the early 1970s, Kingston City Hall was closed for one year and extensively renovated. Architects for the restoration were Harry P. Smith and Neil K. MacLennan. The building cost $2.8 million to renovate and restore. Work was started in 1971 and finished during the city's Tercentenary (300th anniversary) in 1973. The official opening was held January 1, 1974.
