The former Huntly Shire Council Chambers was constructed in 1867 as council chambers for the former shire of Huntly. The building was designed by local engineer, John O'Dwyer and constructed by builders, Hyett and Martin. The Huntly Shire was formed in July 1866 and the construction of a building in which they could hold meetings was a priority. The Council used the building for 110 years before a new chambers was opened in 1977, at which time the former chambers were leased to a local historical society for use as a museum. The one storeyed face brick building has a double hipped roof, partially concealed by parapets on three sides. The design of the building conveys a strong Lombardic influence with banded brick quoining and a large open loggia on the entrance faade formed by double banded brick columns supporting semicircular arches. The building retains much of its early furniture and fittings, including the councillors' meeting table and chairs, a series of honour boards and a photographic collection of all Huntly Shire Council councillors. The former Huntly Shire Chambers is of architectural importance to the State of Victoria. The building is of architectural importance as an unusual example of an engineer designed council chambers with many interesting design elements, including the banded brickwork, overall scale of the building and loggia. The arcade on the eastern faade is a good example of fine engineered brickwork with two levels of arches. The building is substantially intact both internally and externally.Colour photographs of the brick Shire of Huntly building. huntly, shire of huntly, huntly shire council chambers, huntly historical society

Huntly Shire (1866-1994), north of Bendigo, was proclaimed on 13 July 1866, the successor to a road district which had been created in 1861. It was named after the Huntly parish (1854) which was probably named after Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The shire’s south-west corner adjoined Epsom (Bendigo), its eastern boundary was the Campaspe River and its northern boundary ran through Diggora West. Its area was 878 sq km, unchanged since the shire was created. The administrative centre of the shire was Huntly, nearly on the edge of Bendigo’s urban fringe. In the south of the shire there were former gold mining areas at Huntly, Fosterville and Bagshot. The Midland Highway and railway line (1864) running north-east through the shire connected Goornong and Elmore to Bendigo. Elmore was the shire’s largest town, situated in a wheat/sheep farming area. The Kamerooka State Park was in the north-west of the shire. It was amalgamated with Bendigo, Marong, Eaglehawk and Strathfieldsaye in 1994 and is now part of the City of Greater Bendigo.Shire of Huntly stirling silver hand engraved drop suspended from a ling blue masonic ribbon.
