Glen Eira Town Hall, Municipal building in Caulfield, Australia.
Glen Eira Town Hall is a municipal building in Caulfield, Victoria, designed in neoclassical style with Greek-inspired proportions. The structure features a columned portico, a prominent clock tower, and interior spaces with original decorative ceilings and lead-light windows.
The building was constructed in 1885 as Caulfield Shire Hall and served the local administration from its opening. A major renovation in the early 1930s modernized the interior while employing local craftspeople and reinforcing its role as a civic center.
The ground floor serves as a gallery space where contemporary Australian art is displayed to the public. This use brings local artists and visitors together within the building's historic rooms.
The building is accessible on weekdays, allowing visitors to explore the public spaces and art gallery at their own pace. Visiting during morning hours offers the best light for viewing the interior details and architectural features.
A bronze honour roll mounted on the building's wall commemorates community members who died in war. This quiet memorial is often overlooked but carries significant weight in the building's civic purpose.
