About Sydney Town Hall
Sydney Town Hall is a heritage-listed building from the late 19th century, standing at 483 George Street in the central business district of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Inside are the Lord Mayor's chambers and council offices, along with venues for meetings and functions. Its steps, above Town Hall station, are a popular meeting place.
The site was once the Old Sydney Burial Ground, the city's first permanent cemetery, used from 1792 to 1820. Prince Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh, laid the foundation stone in January 1868, and construction commenced in 1869. A competition produced the design, in the Second Empire style, with a clock tower and four pavilions on the eastern side; the City Engineer then altered it to reduce the cost.
Stage II was redesigned in 1881 by City Architect Thomas Sapsford, who had help from John Hennessy; George McRae finished it after Sapsford died. The building opened in 1889, with electric lighting from the start. Renovations in 2008 and 2009 upgraded the building's mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and communication systems, and 6,000 cubic meters (210,000 cu ft) of sandstone was taken out from beneath it.
