Chilliwack City Hall
85820 Spadina Avenue
Thomas Hooper Architect- 1910-1912
The construction of this hall marked the coming of age of the City of Chilliwack. This landmark civic structure was designed in the Neoclassical Revival style by architect Thomas Hooper, who was already known for a number of buildings in Chilliwack. Innovative in its use of cast in place reinforced concrete, it was built by local contractor J.C. Robertson. The design is notable for its use of curving staircases, the colonnaded entrance porch, and the regular rows of round arched windows.
Now used as the Chilliwack Museum, it is a municipality- designated heritage building. This prominent structure remains a symbol of civic pride in Chilliwack. (Chilliwack Archives, Chilliwack Heritage Inventory).
