City HallThe stately Charlottetown City Hall at the corner of Queen and Kent streets was built in 1888 on the site of Love's Tannery. In 1931, a fire hall was added on Queen Street, using 1916 plans. Charlottetown City Hall was built in 1888 to withstand the fires that were not uncommon in cities, when buildings were lit and heated with fire. Thus there was the Queen's Wharf at the foot of Queen Street, and Pownal Wharf at the foot of Pownal Street. Charlottetown marina in front of Founders' Hall has removable floating docks that seasonally shelter recreational boaters, as does Peakes Wharf marina and the Charlottetown Yacht Club marina.
