The building on this site was constructed in 1884 as a Temperance Hall, part of the wider network of meeting places associated with this social movement throughout the Fitzroy and Collingwood area during the late 19th century. This hall was constructed by a local resident William Spur, and was used for wider meetings of religious groups such as the Seventh Day Adventists, who also performed baptisms and services in the hall. The Fitzroy History Society developed a Historic North Fitzroy walking tour with the City of Yarra and Yarra Libraries in 2017 which incorporates this site along with many others: https://fitzroyhistorysociety.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/NthFitzroyHistoricWalks2011.pdf
