Waterloo Library is a heritage listed building in the inner city suburb of Waterloo. The building was originally the Waterloo Town Hall, designed by John Smedley and built in 1881 in the Victorian Italianate style. It is historically significant as evidence of the small inner city council areas which were subsumed into larger municipalities.

ReplyDeleteNo wonder it is Heritage listed. Well worth preserving. By the way, is it still used by the public as an ordinary suburban lending library?
ReplyDeleteNice architecture - it definitely needs to stay!
