Sydney Town Hall

full record ยป

Built on the site of Sydney's first official European cemetery, the Town Hall was designed by architect JH Wilson in High Victorian style and constructed of Pyrmont sandstone. The highly ornate interiors have seen pomp and ceremony, protests and performance, and the building remains a significant focus for the city.
