Architect Robert Findlay left an indelible mark on the face of Westmount, as it was his designs that became Westmount City Hall, the Westmount Public Library, the original Victoria Jubilee Hall and the pavilion in King George Park.

City Hall, erected in 1922, was designed by both Robert and his son Frank Findlay. Its Tudor-style design characteristic of Scottish castles gives a medieval feel, complete with a central square tower crowned with crenellations and corner turrets. It faces east, toward the Westmount Cenotaph, along the length of ‘Garden Point’ between Sherbrooke Street and Cote St-Antoine. Holding a number of historical documents relative to the City, the building’s cornerstone was laid October 14, 1922 by Mayor P.W. McLagan.

Home of Westmount City Council

The present City Hall is the fifth building occupied by the Municipal Council. After sitting in a small building located close to Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Church, the Council moved into a school then located on Stanton Street. After sitting briefly at 216 Greene Avenue, it moved into the newly-completed Tudor-style City Hall.
