New Welsh Slate Roof - Paddington Town Hall
Paddington Town Hall with its Welsh slate roof was built in the late 1800s at a cost of £15,000. It opened in 1891 and still stands as a hugely impressive example of European architecture in Sydney. The building sits on the highest point on Oxford Street and has an impressive clocktower that stands 32 metres high.
The white stains below the ridge are caused by oxidation of the lead ridge capping - a problem that may be prevented by applying patination oil to the lead before installation. For more information on this go to Users Guide Roofing Slate
