HISTORY The Horsham Town Hall was a municipal complex built in 1938-1939, incorporating offices and a council meeting room, an auditorium, supper room, and an associated tenancy. It replaced an earlier complex, with offices of 1886 and a town hall of 1911.
It was designed by the distinguished Melbourne architect Charles Neville Hollinshed (1899-1993), one of Australia’s leading theatre designers and an expert in the interior planning and detailing of auditoria and associated spaces. The contract was given to the builder Rupert F Anderson for the sum of £6,500, and the foundation stone was laid on 21 July 1938 and the building opened on 31 May 1939.
The building was one of the most important civic complexes built outside Melbourne in the inter-war period, and was the subject of a lengthy article in the Journal of the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects in June 1939 and in the Sydney-based journal Building in August that year.
