Paddington Town Hall, Town hall at Oxford Street, Sydney, Australia
The Victorian-style building features a prominent 32-meter clock tower, Corinthian pilasters, and Roman-arched windows along Oxford Street ridge.
Sir Henry Parkes placed the foundation stone in 1890, leading to construction by architect John Edward Kemp between 1890 and 1891.
The building evolved from a municipal center to a multi-purpose venue, now containing radio studios, a cinema, and community service facilities.
Located at 249 Oxford Street in the inner eastern Sydney suburb of Paddington, the building stands as a central landmark.
Premier Joseph Carruthers initiated the clock mechanism in 1905, marking the occasion with references to Russian-Japanese peace negotiations.
