Fitzroy Town Hall

Fitzroy Town Hall is a 19th-century town hall in Fitzroy featuring classical design elements such as Corinthian columns, ornamental friezes, and a notable clock tower on Napier Street. The structure comprises two distinct building phases and blends elegant historical facades with modern interior spaces.

The town hall emerged in two construction phases, first with a design by Ellis in 1873, followed by extensions by Johnson between 1887 and 1890. This gradual development reflected the area's growth and evolving needs.

The building has housed community services for many years, helping residents navigate practical and legal matters. When visiting, you notice how it still functions as a gathering place for people seeking assistance.

The building is easy to locate on Napier Street and costs nothing to view the exterior facades. Inside, active offices and services operate during standard business hours, so some areas are accessible to visitors.

After a 2007 renovation, the historic building gained a modern kitchen and climate control while its 19th-century appearance remained intact. This blend shows how older structures can function with contemporary technology.
