Glebe, town hall

Glebe Town Hall is located on St Johns Road between Vernon Street and Lodge Street, in the inner west suburb of Glebe. It was designed by Ambrose Thornley Jr in the Victorian Free Classical architectural style and built in 1891. The Municipality of Glebe was merged with Leichhardt Council in 1968 but the building continues to be used as a community and function centre.

  5. Now that is what I call an elegant, late Victorian building. Not a million miles from Melbourne's town hall.
