Sydney Town Hall, Christmas

The Sydney Town Hall is one of the public buildings decorated every year for Christmas. The heritage listed building was designed by John H. Wilson and completed in 1889 in the Grand Victorian Second Empire architectural style. A Christmas tree surrounded by flower boxes is located in the middle of Sydney Square (below), beside the town hall.

  3. The 1868 version of the town hall must have initially impressed Sydney-siders. Then later on, when this confection of a building got added to, it must have really knocked their little socks off!

    Melbourne town hall, eat your heart out :)

    Happy and healthy holidays to you,
