The York Town Hall, built in 1911, is a grand old beauty built in a mix of architectural styles of that period and sits proudly on York's main street. I was thrilled to be able to go in and explore the heritage listed town hall and was not disappointed! If you click and read the link you will see that it has quite a history. Condemned in 1926 later restored to it's former glory in the early 2000's with many a trial in-between. There was a peculiar incident while I was sitting up in the balcony seats looking down to the stage.. I don't consider myself particularly intuitive in the awareness of anything 'otherworldly' but I felt a definite chill, enough to make me head down the gorgeous jarrah staircase tout suite :) I found out later that back in 1933 while at the St. Patrick's Ball a young man standing on the railings of the dress circle unfortunately fell, breaking his neck on the dance floor. Apparently I'm not alone in feeling the chill.. spooky huh :) Happy weekend, take care and stay safe..
Incredible architecture! The ghost story is poignant.
ReplyDeleteThe building is a beauty! If a ghost does live there, he has a fine home.
ReplyDelete...now, that's one gorgeous building!
ReplyDeleteThat building is incredibly gorgeous. It's one of those places that I'd describe as jaw-dropping. I've gotten those "spine-chilling" experiences before so I understand completely. I'd have headed down those lovely stairs too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a superb looking building
ReplyDeleteThe building is absolutely gorgeous. The ghost story is chilling especially when you felt weird.
ReplyDeleteIt's a rather unusual building. The area above the main door almost disturbs me. What a great interior though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great town hall. Glad you survived your brush with the ghost, and no, I don't believe in such things either. Thank you for your comments today. Always like hearing from you, Grace.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous building, Grace! I probably would have been ahead of you going down the stairs. ;-)
ReplyDeleteA fabulous building. They did a great job saving it. I've had those kinds of feelings too. They can be quite unsettling.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many town hall have clocks, our town hall does.

ReplyDeleteVery wonderful building.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful building, Grace, and yes, a tad creepy and sad. The timber sure has a beautiful, rich color.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely building, quite a strange mix of styles though. If I had felt the chill I guess I would have looked around for the air conditioning duct.
ReplyDeleteAwesome building.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend.
Wow, that is a huge building, looks amost like a cathedral from the outside.
