About the Business

Auckland Town Hall is a prominent civic landmark of neo-Baroque style. Taking pride of place on
Queen Street in Auckland's CBD, it was specifically designed by Melbourne architects JJ and EJ Clark
to fit the wedge-shaped piece of land acquired for it. Protected as a Category A heritage building, it
was opened in 1911 by Baron Islington, New Zealand's Governor General at the time. From 1994-
1997 the building was fully restored, allowing the addition of modern amenities and re-establishing
the building's standing as a multi-functional venue and world class performance hall.
Constructed from Oamaru limestone, this historic five-storey building with its distinctive clock tower,
has many special features including kauri floors, decorative pressed metal ceilings and plasterwork,
stained glass windows, cast iron balustrades, porcelain and glazed ceramic tiling, and hand blown
chandeliers.

Established in 1911.
