The building was designed by architect Stanley G. Hudson and erected between 1906 and 1910.[1]

The building, which features an Edwardian neobaroque style, is almost an exact replica of Belfast City Hall in Northern Ireland.[1][2] The façades are decorated by allegorical statues depicting the arts, music, literature, commerce and industry.[2]
