Ithaca Town Council Chambers, Municipal building in Red Hill, Australia.
The Ithaca Town Council Chambers is a brick building with rendered accents and decorative pressed metal ceilings located at the corner of Enoggera and Kennedy Terraces. The structure houses multiple community functions within its walls.
The building was designed in 1910 by architects Atkinson and McLay as the administrative center for the Town of Ithaca. When Ithaca merged with Brisbane in 1925, the structure shifted from a seat of local government to serving the broader community.
The building served as a gathering place for the community for decades, housing a kindergarten and library that brought families together regularly. This role shaped how locals still view the place as part of their neighborhood's social fabric.
The building sits at an easy-to-find intersection in the Red Hill neighborhood and is accessible from the main streets. Since it continues to host community activities and gatherings, visitors should check ahead to ensure access during their visit.
The interior of the former council chamber preserves original features from its founding era, including an internal staircase and intricate ceiling details. These elements offer visitors a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship of early 20th-century construction techniques.
