Construction of the town hall was begun in 1864, with the foundation stone laid on April 14, which was declared a public holiday and celebrated by a parade. It was completed two years later in September 1866, which was celebrated by another public holiday and a gala ball. The design by Henry Hunter〔 was somewhat inspired by the Palazzo Farnese in Rome.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.liveguide.com.au/Venues/5447/Hobart_City_Hall )〕 At the time of construction, it was designed to house the City of Hobart's council chambers, as well as police offices, the municipal court and the State Library of Tasmania.〔 These remained in use for nearly fifty years after the town hall was opened.
