Leichhardt Town Hall, Victorian Italianate civic building in Norton Street, Sydney, Australia.

Leichhardt Town Hall is a Victorian Italianate civic building of brick and stone at 107 Norton Street, designed by Drake and Walcott and opened in 1888. Its tower, completed without a clock until 1897, rises above the entrance, and the former bank room on the north-western side later became a library with its own Marion Street entry.

Leichhardt Municipal Council first met in a former wayside inn after the municipality was proclaimed in 1871. In June 1887 aldermen voted 5 to 4 to fund a town hall at Norton and Marion streets; the foundation stone was laid on 7 January 1888 and the hall opened on 26 September 1888, built for £5,600. It housed the council until 2016 and is now a seat of Inner West Council.

The hall takes its name from the surrounding suburb of Leichhardt, which honours the explorer Ludwig Leichhardt. Its 1888 opening by Governor Lord Carrington, with Sir Henry Parkes present, made it a civic gathering place; a library opened in 1895 with its own entrance from Marion Street.

The hall stands at 107 Norton Street, on the corner of Marion Street, where the library entrance opened in 1895. The clock tower faces the street and is the easiest landmark to spot. The building is still used for council and community functions, so check with the Inner West Council before planning a look inside.

The clock in the tower was installed in 1897 and marks a specific royal occasion from that era. This detail, though small, connects the building to a larger historical moment that most visitors pass without noticing.
