South Brisbane Town Hall, Heritage building in South Brisbane, Australia.
The South Brisbane Town Hall stands four stories tall with neoclassical architecture elements, featuring symmetrical design and detailed stonework across its facade.
The building opened on July 1, 1892, as the South Brisbane Municipal Chambers, constructed at a cost of £11,000 during a period of local governance independence.
The structure transformed from municipal chambers to Queensland Conservatorium of Music in 1957, marking its evolution into an educational institution.
Located at 263 Vulture Street at the intersection with Graham Street, the building now operates under Somerville House as The Chambers.
The clock tower, installed in 1904, contained the first electrically-driven clock system in Australia, marking a technological advancement for its time.
