Oz revisited 9: Freo Town Hall

How about this for a town hall? It was built in 1887 for the burghers of Fremantle in Western Australia and was designed by the architects Grainger and D'Ebro in the Victorian Free Classical style; the fine clock tower is 32 metres (105 ft) high.

 

Since I was here in 2013, the building has undergone a major restoration, including a colour change back to its original Victorian hue. In 1963 it ceased to be the main council office; these days it’s a concert hall and visitor centre, complete with dining facilities, function rooms and an atrium.
