COLLINGWOOD TOWN HALL. NOT BUILT 200YEARS AGO!!!
THE OFFICIAL MORONIC HISTORY LIE.......AND LOOK WHEEL OUT THE OL' COMPETITION!!
Collingwood Town Hall is a civic building located on Hoddle Street in Abbotsford, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.
The hall was built between 1885 and 1887 to the competition-winning[1] design of local architect George R. Johnson in the Second Empire style, rich in detail with domed mansard roofs and a soaring clock tower. It is widely considered one of the finest town halls in Australia, and, along with the Sydney Town Hall and South Melbourne Town Hall, one of the best example of the Second Empire style in Australia.
The Collingwood Town Hall building incorporated many functions in the one project, with a grand hall, with a supper room / lecture hall behind, municipal offices and council chamber, post office, police station and court house, and a mechanics' institute (comprising separate ladies and gentlemens library rooms), and the opening was held on the 29 March 1887.[1] The clocks in the tower were installed later and were the subject of some debate in September 1887.[2] They are reputed to have been the clocks once at the Melbourne General Post Office which was extended in 1888, but they were in fact ordered from Gaunt & Co, clockmakers, and were to be similar to the clocks at the GPO. Finally ordered in April 1888,[3] and reportedly was on display at the 1888 Melbourne Centennial Exhibition,[4] and the clock bell was cast by Mears and Stainbank at the Whitechapel Foundry, London, in 1890.[5]
It is considered an important example of the work of George R Johnson, possibly the most prolific designer of town halls in late 19th century Victoria (he designed or redesigned at least 6), as well as numerous theatres in Melbourne and other Australian cities.
