It is located at 175 The Parade in Norwood, an inner-eastern suburb of greater Adelaide, South Australia, five minutes east of the city centre.

The classical style building opened in 1883[4] and included civic offices and a banqueting hall to service the growing town.

[2] The Town Hall clock, which was gifted by then mayor Sir Edwin Thomas Smith in 1890,[5] is a local landmark.

The Bösendorfer grand piano loaned by the Australian Society of Keyboard Music had to be winched up to the first floor hall.

The piano is now stored in the Pilgrim Church, Flinders Street in Adelaide, where it is used for recitals each week.
