Christ Church St Laurence Parish Hall is at 505 Pitt Street in the inner-city suburb of Haymarket in Sydney. The building also houses The Actors College of Theatre and Television. Originally the church school, the building was designed by John Burcham Clamp and completed in 1905. The red brick with moulding building is in the (Mock) Tudor style and features four centred Tudor arches in the doorway and most of the windows, buttresses, bas-relief sculpture above some of the upper-floor windows, and two heraldic shields. The building also has a small central tower topped by a crenelated parapet and an octagonal turret. The turret includes small gargoyles. The tower and spire behind the Parish Hall belong to Christ Church St Laurence.
