Title Federation Hall 24 - 30 Grosvenor Street, The Rocks Conservation Management Plan
Creator Organisations
Abstract/Description Located on Grosvenor Street at the southern edge of The Rocks precinct, Federation Hall has been combined with the adjacent Royal Naval House to create the Sydney Futures Exchange. The neoclassical façade for the Hall retains some of its original character and details, as well as significant alterations carried out during the 1920s when it was converted from a theatre and hall into a commercial office building, with the installation of new floor levels and metal windows. Federation Hall is an important element in the streetscape of Grosvenor Street. The significance of the place is associated with its use as a hall and repertory theatre, and its later use as a commercial office building. Significant tenants have included the fledgling NRMA and later the Australian Meat Board. Federation Hall is a rare surviving example, in the inner city, of a purpose built public hall and theatre, albeit with only the façade surviving.
