Fredericton City Hall, Clockworks and Phoenix Square

Fredericton's City Hall, built in 1876, is the oldest one still in use in the Maritimes. Until 1952, the square in front of the building was used as a public farmers' market. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, the second floor was used as an Opera House, and was the entertainment centre of the city. In 2013, the fountain in front of City Hall was restored to its original 3-tiered height. The cherub atop the fountain is affectionately known by locals as 'Freddy the Nude Dude'.
