Prahran Town Hall, Renaissance Revival municipal building in Prahran, Victoria, Australia.

Located on the corner of Chapel Street and Greville Street, Prahran Town Hall exhibits ornamental plasterwork, stained glass windows, and detailed masonry throughout its structure.

Constructed in 1861 by architects Crouch and Wilson, the building was extended in 1888 to include a City Hall, with Charles D'Ebro designing the clock tower in 1890.

The interior spaces reflect Italian Renaissance architectural influence, displaying the strong European design principles that influenced Australian civic buildings during the Victorian era.

Following the 1994 merger of Prahran with the City of Malvern to form the City of Stonnington, the building remains under heritage protection on the Victorian Heritage Register.

The building's clock tower, originally a defining feature of the municipal offices and council chambers, underwent modifications in the 1960s when its decorative elements were truncated.

Location: Victoria
