Prince Rupert City Hall

Prince Rupert City Hall[edit]

The art deco Prince Rupert City Hall, in Prince Rupert, B.C., was originally constructed as the Federal Building in 1938.^[1]

The architect was Max B. Downing who persuaded the Department of Public Works to use "monolithic concrete" on the edifice instead of brick.^[2]

The result: the rather striking Prince Rupert Federal Building appeared in the northern B.C. community.

It was built in the fashionable art deco streamlined style; many years later decorative native motifs were incorporated into the front wall.

It is one of only 2 existing Art Deco city halls in Canada; the other being Vancouver City Hall.
