Gorman 100
Your Stories, Our History

Gorman Arts Centre (formerly Gorman House) was built in 1924. Originally a hostel for public servants, this central heritage-listed facility holds a rich and layered history where people have lived, worked, performed and explored their creativity.

If you have a story you’d like to share, or know someone that might, please share this project.
