Storey Hall, Neoclassical university building in Melbourne Central Business District, Australia
The three-story brick and stone structure features paired Ionic columns and a podium base constructed from Malmsbury bluestone along its principal facade.
Built in 1887 by the Hibernian-Australasian Catholic Benefit Society, the hall became part of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 1958.
The building served as a central meeting place for Melbourne's Irish Catholic community and later hosted anti-conscription rallies during World War I.
Located at 344-346 Swanston Street, the hall functions as both an educational facility and a movie theater, offering regular screenings and academic events.
A statue of Erin representing Ireland decorated the parapet until 1930, marking the building's connection to Melbourne's Irish heritage.
