Although the the building was opened in 1960, the architect Wilfred Onions by then had already passed away. There are bronze sculptures of children in a setting of lily pond created by the Bermudian artist Desmond Fountain.
City Hall Bermuda
The City Hall serves many functions from the same building premises.
As you enter through the massive cedar doors, you will see beautiful huge chandeliers, portraits of Queen Elizabeth II and the Mayors of past & present. The queen had visited the City Hall in 1975. Here you can also see a great collection of postage stamps donated by Colin Benbow, a local historian.
On the right side is the office of Bermuda Corporation. On the left is City Hall Theatre. It hosts many types of performing arts. It is always busy with amateur or professional performances including dance recitals, plays and such.
There is a grand cedar-make stairs that leads to the upper floor. As you go up the stairs, you will find Bermuda National Gallery and Bermuda Society of Arts.
