Now if you want to measure which building contributes more to Hamilton's built environment, I'd have to go with City Hall, and not just because of its size or function. If we lost the Go station it would be a damn shame, but there are other lovely examples of Art Moderne in this city. If we lost City Hall on the other hand, there are no other examples of the International Style that even come close. It's one of the finest examples of this style in the country, and if we lost it, it would be an incalculable loss not just to Hamilton, but to the entire country.
I still think it looks like something out of Thunderbirds :-)
