Collingwood Town Hall

Collingwood Town Hall is a civic building located on Hoddle Street in Abbotsford, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.

The hall was built between 1885 and 1887 to the competition-winning[1] design of local architect George R. Johnson in the Second Empire style, rich in detail with domed mansard roofs and a soaring clock tower.

The Collingwood Town Hall building incorporated many functions in the one project, with a grand hall, a supper room, municipal offices and council chamber, post office, police station and court house, and a mechanics' institute (comprising separate ladies' and gentlemen's library rooms).

Finally ordered in April 1888,[3] and reportedly was on display at the 1888 Melbourne Centennial Exhibition,[4] and the clock bell was cast by Mears and Stainbank at the Whitechapel Foundry, London, in 1890.

In 1938 the lobby and hall was significantly remodelled at the time in an Art Deco style, designed by AC Leith & Associates.
