The Pavilion was named in honour of the enterprising retail Hordern family, Anthony Hordern and Sons, and Sir Samuel Hordern, who was the president of the Royal Agricultural Society from 1915 to 1941. The building is designed in the Inter-War Academic Classical Style with rendered masonry featuring classical detailing inside and out, including fluted Doric columns, a parapet and an imposing vaulted roof with lantern tower. Designed by Northern Sydney architecture firm Trenchard Smith & Maisey, it cost £45,000 to originally build. [2] [3] The pavilion was officially opened on 2 April 1924 by the Premier, Sir George Fuller. [4] [5] The pavilion has also been the site of championship boxing over the years with, among others, former World Champion Jeff Fenech fighting at the venue. [6]
