Perth Town Hall

Perth Town Hall is a heritage-listed civic building located at the corner of Hay and Barrack Streets in central Perth, Western Australia. Constructed between 1868 and 1870 by convict labour, it is the only Australian town hall built by convicts and an outstanding example of Victorian Free Gothic architecture. Notable for its clock tower, arched undercroft and decorative stonework, it remains a central landmark and functioning event venue in the Perth central business district.

Visitors can expect to see a two-storey Victorian Free Gothic building with a prominent clock tower, pointed arches, decorative stonework and an open undercroft at ground level. The exterior is viewable at all times on the corner of Hay and Barrack Streets in the city centre. When open for exhibitions or events, visitors can explore the main hall with its timber roof trusses, stained-glass windows and historic interiors. The setting is urban, surrounded by shops, malls and heritage precincts, with opportunities for photography and heritage appreciation.
