DescriptionThe hall (formerly named the National Hall) officially opened on 5 December 1914. It was built by Edward John Easton. Within months of its opening, the National Picture Company showed silent films, initially outside and later inside the hall.
The Queensland Colliery Employees Union bought the hall in 1917, and its use as a dance hall and picture theatre continued. The union extended the hall in 1937, altering it internally and building offices at the rear. The hall was renovated in 1979 and the Blackstone-Ipswich Cambrian Choir purchased the building in 1983.
