Sydney Town Hall

Story

The City of Sydney Library is a network of eight branch libraries and two 'library links', located within the City of Sydney Council administrational area.HistoryA free public lending library service has existed in Sydney since 1877 when the New South Wales state government opened a lending branch of the State Library of New South Wales on Macquarie Street. By the end of the same year there were over one thousand registered borrowers. In 1899 the lending library moved to the second floor of the Queen Victoria Building and in 1909 control passed from State to the City of Sydney Council. In 1918 the library moved again, this time to the old concert hall of the Queen Victoria Building. This provided space for a separate children's library to open in the same year. The first branch libraries opened in 1949 which also provided book deposit stations at a number of local schools. In 1970, the City library moved to yet larger premises within the Queen Victoria Building before taking up residence on Pitt Street in 1984. High rent fees prompted it to move again in 1994 to Town Hall House. In 2005 the Town Hall branch moved to its current location at Customs House at Circular Quay.LocationsCustoms HouseGlebeGreen Square HaymarketKings CrossNewtownSurry HillsUltimoWaterloo Library Link

Sydney Town Hall is a stunning heritage building that stands right in the middle of the city’s hustle and bustle. The mix of historic architecture and the lively atmosphere around it makes it one of those spots that always feels full of energy.nnI’ve been through here countless times, and no matter the time, weather, or season, it’s always buzzing—whether it’s workers rushing by, street performers entertaining the crowd, or people just soaking in the city vibe. With easy access to trains, buses, and light rail, plus plenty of shops and cafés around, it’s a place that truly captures the pulse of Sydney.
The largest organ in the world at the time of its completion, it is now the second largest Not sure organ but remains the largest mechanical-action pipe organ in the world. Really worth visiting. But you can't go inside without a ticket to a concert. It is right in front of the town hall light rail station, really easy to access
Sydney Town Hall is located in the centre of Sydney's CBD. It is a historical, late 19th century building.nnI thought the hall looked grand from the outside, but inside was even more spectacular! There is a really large, ornate chandelier in the reception area, hanging below a pretty and very detailed high ceiling. Once in the main hall, there are many other details to look at and take in. I was fascinated by the many historical plaques and elements inside.nnThe use of space and accessing the hall was very well organised on the occasion of my visit. I would highly recommend coming here!
