South Melbourne Town Hall, Victorian heritage town hall in South Melbourne, Australia
The town hall features a grand Victorian Academic Classical design with Corinthian columns, a central portico, and a multi-stage clock tower added in 1881.
The building opened in 1880 to house multiple municipal services, including the Emerald Hill Town Council, Police Department, Post Office, and Fire Brigade.
The Australian National Academy of Music established its headquarters in the town hall in 1994, transforming the structure into a center for musical education.
The building underwent extensive restoration in 2004, which reinstated the decorative roof, iron cresting, and returned the exterior to its original ochre color.
The Jubilee Fountain in the forecourt, completed in 1905, commemorates South Melbourne municipality and honors local residents who served in the Boer War.
