Bendigo Town Hall

The Bendigo Town Hall, located at the intersection of Bull Street and Hargreaves Street in Bendigo, Victoria, is a stunning example of Victorian-era Second Empire architecture. Originally designed in 1859, it underwent significant renovations from 1878 to 1902 by architect William Vahland, who transformed it into a symbol of Bendigo's prosperity during the gold rush. The hall features an opulent interior adorned with 22-carat gold leaf and a striking clock tower. After a comprehensive restoration in 2003, the Town Hall now serves as the administrative center for the City of Greater Bendigo, making it a must-visit for tourists and researchers interested in historical architecture and local governance.
