York Town Hall, Town hall in York, Australia.

York Town Hall is a town hall in York, Australia, featuring pressed tin ceilings and a sweeping staircase made from jarrah timber in Federation Free Classical style. The main hall contains a stage, while a secondary hall with kitchen facilities supports diverse events and functions.

The building was constructed in 1911 as Western Australia's largest public hall at that time. A clock was installed in 1952 and extensions were completed in 1997 to fulfill the original architectural vision.

The hall was built large enough to rent to travelling picture-show men and served as a cinema early in its history. Its 1911 opening by Labor Premier John Scaddan drew on the town's confidence; historian Tony Clack called the erection York's swan song, as war followed two and a half years later.

York Town Hall stands on Avon Terrace, with the 1997 extension running up Joaquina Street. The main hall measures 100 by 50 feet (30 by 15 metres), and the lobby staircase was built by local craftsmen from jarrah salvaged from the demolished Mechanics Institute. The building is permanently on the State Register of Heritage Places, so check access to the halls before planning a look inside.

During construction in 1911, workmen left the last of six large steel pillars unsecured for lunch; a willy-willy knocked down that principal and the other five, so all six had to be replaced. The lobby staircase was built by local craftsmen from jarrah salvaged from the demolished Mechanics Institute building.
