Auckland Town Hall, Concert hall and town hall in Auckland, New Zealand

The Auckland Town Hall rises 45 meters high with Renaissance Revival architecture and five floors at Queen Street in central Auckland.

The building opened on December 14, 1911, under Lord Islington's governance, marking Auckland's first permanent administrative headquarters with a cost of 126,000 pounds.

The Grand Hall accommodates 1,673 people and features New Zealand's largest musical instrument, a protected organ installed during the initial construction in 1911.

The structure underwent extensive restoration between 1994 and 1997, incorporating advanced seismic reinforcement techniques while maintaining its historical characteristics.

The concert hall design draws inspiration from Leipzig's Gewandhaus and earned recognition for superior acoustic properties that rank among the world's finest.
