The Sydney Town Hall is a landmark sandstone building located in the heart of Sydney . It stands opposite the Queen Victoria Building and alongside St Andrew's Cathedral . Sitting above the busy Town Hall Station and between the cinema strip on George Street and the Central Business District , the steps of the Town Hall are a popular meeting place. Town Hall was built in the 1880s from local Sydney Sandstone in the grand Victorian architectural style, and remains the only non-religious city building from the era to retain its original function and interior. The building houses the Sydney City Council Chamber, reception rooms, the Centennial Hall and offices for the Lord Mayor and elected councillors. The Town Hall was immortalised in song by the 1980s Indie Rock and pop band The Mexican Spitfires in their song "Town Hall Steps". EXTERNAL LINKS |
