The building was modified several times to meet the growing demands of the municipality, as was Moorabbin Town Hall.

Moorabbin, part of the earliest development of Melbourne, began as an outpost of "Dendy's Brighton" and took shape as a market garden area along what was Arthur's Seat Road, now the Nepean Highway.
