M&CC launches fund to restore City Hall

Oct 27, 2017 News

 

The Council at its last Statutory Meeting endorsed a proposal by Mayor, Patricia Chase-Green, to set up a Restoration Fund to begin the process of restoring City Hall. This fund will be managed by a special civic committee, which will include corporate leaders, investors and other stakeholders from civic society.
The idea is to begin a process that would actively engage stakeholders to restore this building to its pristine stage when a section was used for civic and other social functions.
As a result, the administration of the Mayor and City Council is in the process of working out the modalities with a view to launching this restoration fund by mid-November 2017.
The Council will announce a special forum to invite local communities to participate in identifying the best possible approach to establish and manage this fund.
‘’Victorian Exuberance in time’’ as some have often described it, and by others, as “the most handsome building in Georgetown”, City Hall was designed by Father Ignatius Scoles S.J., a trained architect.
The foundation stone was laid by governor Sir Henry Turner Irving, on December 23, 1887. The building was opened in July, 1889, by Lord Gormanston.
