For fifty years the old city hall in Kitchener, Ontario stood proudly as the focal point of the entire area. Its neo-classical ambiance was especially  magical at Christmastime. Bedecked with colored lights, it served as a perfect backdrop to throngs of holiday shoppers, smiling as they braved downtown swirls of snow - long before the malls, long before someone decided that so-called urban renewal was necessary....
     The building was demolished in 1973, the first blow to a downtown that has never really recovered.
     A portion of the proceeds from the sales of this print were donated to a fund to rebuild the clock tower  (it had escaped the wreckers in '73) in Kitchener's Victoria Park. Today it proudly stands as a reminder of our past.
