It is situated in the south of the city on Conyngham Road in Victoria Park, next to St Chrysostom's Church.
Dalton-Ellis Hall has a second Grade II listed block, Eaglesfield, which is not currently in use.
The hall also has a history of sporting success fielding rugby, hockey, netball, cricket, football and croquet teams.
The building, like the neighbouring St Chrysostom's Church was designed by George T Redmayne.
In 1892 the large Victorian house now known as Eaglesfield was bought to increase the hall's capacity.
