Centenary Hall

Centenary Hall, located in the Melbourne CBD, is a historically significant building completed in 1935, designed by architects Hugh Philp and H. Geoffrey Bottoms. It commemorates the centenary of Melbourne's founding and features a distinctive Moderne architectural style. Originally serving as a venue for meetings and performances, it played a vital role during World War II as a service club for American soldiers. Today, it hosts retail shops, the Victorian division of the Liberal Party, and Tolarno Galleries, making it a vibrant part of Melbourne's cultural landscape. The building's unique terrazzo floor motif has been nominated for heritage protection, highlighting its historical value.
