Most prevalent between the late 1880s, and 1905, the style in its more robust variation, as in Queen’s Park and Old City Hall, was inspired by the work of the American architect Henry Hobson Richardson.
Note:
- The brickwork is fine and narrow-jointed.
- Terracotta egg-and-dart decorations are often found.
- There is a rugged stone base, often derived from Credit Valley sandstone.
