BALLARAT TOWN HALL - Physical Description 1
The design of the Town Hall is the result of a competition held in 1868. The exterior of J.T.Lorenz's entry and the interior of the design by H.R.Caselli w chosen by the council. Percy Oakden, as the borough architect, was in charge amalgamating the two discordant designs. The building was opened in 1872 aft many changes .of plan fbr the use of the building. The Sturt Street facade is basically the design of J.T.Lorenz, although the tower is somewhat higher. The two storey building has end pavilions and a central clock tower of two levels The main building consists of arched openings with rough masonry dressings and an upper floor of Corinthian pilasters flanking Renaissance windows. Internal areas of interest include the Council Chamber, Mayor's Room, two halls and the main staircase. Despite the hybrid design the Town Hall is a building of considerable distinction. The Palladian form with the raised corne pavilions ar unique in the state. The building is externally substantially intact on the principal elevation and contains various rooms, halls and other areas which retain some of the buildings original character.
