The Gauteng Legislature building in downtown Johannesburg, originally the Johannesburg City Hall, was completed in 1915. It was initially used as the municipal government seat until 1972. Designed in the Beaux-Arts style by architects Hawke and McKinlay, it was the city's largest and most costly project at the time.
In 1994, the building was renovated to serve as the home of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature. Architects Mira Fassler and Marcus Holmes led the restoration, preserving its historical and architectural significance. The building now stands as a heritage site, representing Johannesburg's transition from a market square to a modern city center, and continues to be a venue for concerts and events.
The Johannesburg City Hall originally housed a grand pipe organ, which was considered one of the finest in South Africa. Installed in the early 20th century, the organ was used for civic ceremonies and musical performances, showcasing the city's cultural heritage.
The organ was a key feature of the hall, reflecting the architectural and artistic ambitions of the time. It added to the venue's reputation as a center for music and public gatherings. Over the years, the organ has been preserved as part of the building's historical legacy, maintaining its status as a significant cultural artifact.
