Toronto City Hall seen through an Iconian gateway
Toronto City Hall is a prominent landmark in Toronto, Canada. Among the various locations seen through the gateway discovered on Iconia was a building which strongly resembled the Toronto City Hall. This suggests that either the Iconians had visited Earth, or they had visited a location where at some point a replica of the Toronto City Hall was built. (TNG: "Contagion")
Background Information
File footage of Toronto City Hall can be seen in "All Our Yesterdays". At the time, the building had only recently been constructed.
The building is located at 100 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Due to modernist design, Toronto City Hall has been used in various films including Resident Evil: Apocalypse where it represented the Umbrella Headquarters in Raccoon City and the 1980 film The Kidnapping of the President starring William Shatner.

"The Ghost Planet"'s comic book image of the building
In one of the Gold Key comics published by Western Publishing, #5: "The Ghost Planet", in September 1969 (later reprinted as issue #37 in May 1976), the artist Alberto Giolitti drew a building that looked just like the Toronto City Hall.
