Sydney Town Hall

Sydney Town Hall is the largest and most ornate late 19th century civic building in Australia and is renowned for its high Victorian interiors and rich decoration.

The Town Hall was built in the 1880s on the site of an old cemetery from local Sydney sandstone in the grand Victorian Second Empire style, and has been described as having "lavishly ornamented composition with focal tower and fanciful roofs". It remains the only non-religious city building from the era to retain its original function and interior.

Today it is a workplace, hireable venue and a seat of local government.

The building houses the Sydney City Council Chamber, reception rooms, the Centennial Hall and offices for the Lord Mayor and elected councillors.

Sydney Town Hall is located at 483 George Street, Sydney 2000.

Most Sydney trains stop at Sydney Town Hall, and most CBD busses stop nearby.
