Albert Hall
- Category:Tours & Experiences
- Location:Launceston, TAS
The Albert Hall is one of Launceston’s most significant buildings due to its high degree of heritage value that is attributed to the Classical Victorian style of monumental public architecture.
It was built by J.T Farmils at a cost of 14,000 pounds in 1891 to house the Tasmanian Industrial Exhibition of 1891-92. The corner stone was laid by Samuel John Sutton, Esq. Mayor of Launceston on 2 April 1890. The exhibition itself was designed to ease the social misery caused by the depression of the 1880s. The opening ceremony in November 1891, was preceded by a parade 10 city blocks long, led by the Mayor John Gould on a white horse.
The Albert Hall is a landmark of Launceston and has strong ties to the local community.
