Rockdale Town Hall, Art Deco municipal building in Rockdale, Australia
The brick town hall features a stone portico entrance, decorative window frames, and an ascending tower at the corner of Princes Highway and Bryant Street.
Opened in 1940 by Lord Wakehurst, Governor of New South Wales, the town hall was constructed for 20,000 Australian pounds following Douglas Gardiner's design.
The council chamber and large auditorium within the building have hosted municipal meetings and community events for Rockdale residents since its construction.
The auditorium measures 85 by 56 feet, while the council chamber spans 49 by 28 feet, providing space for various administrative and public functions.
The building incorporates late inter-war stripped classical elements with functionalist influences, displayed through its detailed plasterwork and architectural composition.
