Dunedin Town Hall, Town hall in Dunedin, New Zealand

The Renaissance Revival building extends through a city block from The Octagon to Moray Place, featuring a 47-meter tall observation tower with a London clock.

Construction occurred in two phases, with the first completed in 1880 under architect Robert Lawson and the second phase finished in February 1930.

The Concert Hall contains a 1919 organ named Norma, which traveled with vaudeville shows before arriving in Dunedin from the British Empire Exhibition.

The main auditorium accommodates 2,200 seated guests and includes two dressing rooms, a backstage green room, and a choral room for performances.

The structure incorporates Port Chalmers breccia stone in its basement and Oamaru limestone in the upper floors, reflecting local building materials.
