Richmond Town Hall, Neoclassical town hall in Richmond, Victoria, Australia
Richmond Town Hall is a neoclassical municipal building in Richmond, Victoria, featuring prominent columns and symmetrical facades decorated with stone details. The structure contains administrative offices and meeting spaces used for local government functions and public gatherings.
The building originated during the Victorian era and underwent major redesign in the 1930s. That transformation replaced its earlier Gothic Revival design with the neoclassical style seen today, reflecting architectural tastes of the interwar period.

The town hall sits on Bridge Road with good public transport connections making it easy to reach. Visitors can explore the publicly accessible areas during regular business hours and learn about local government services available to residents.
The building's rear sections and interior spaces retain original Victorian-era details that survived the 1930s redesign. This layering of architectural styles shows how the structure adapted to modern tastes without completely abandoning its historical roots.
