In January 1917, Messrs Taylor, Draper and Hedges were appointed to a committee to investigate a possible site for additional accommodation.

Taylor was appointed Honorary Architect and supervisor of the project and it was agreed that the hall was to be built by voluntary labour.

The Sunday School continued to grow, prompting a request for Taylor to prepare plans of an extension to the hall.

Being the time of the Depression, many of the men of the parish were unemployed, on relief work, and so were unable to give money as generously as they had done in the past.

The precast concrete parts were made in Walter Taylor's workshop, moved to the site and "placed in position like masonry.

After the buttresses were erected, walls, panels and window jambs at the top and filled in with concrete slabs, formed a broken surface, "with a very pleasing effect".

"Rapid hardening cement and reinforced concrete have made it possible to construct on a very modest scale a building containing all the essential features".

Various other additions were made to the former church, including a photograph frame containing pictures of past ministers, a baptismal font, a pulpit, and a memorial plaque to commemorate Brother James William Roberts.

[1] At a Trustees Meeting on 15 November 1944, a letter from Taylor was read which stated that the time was opportune to launch a scheme to build a memorial hall and to simultaneously pay off the church debt.

Plans proposed by Taylor were presented to the meeting and the committee agreed to go ahead with the construction of the hall which would be a memorial to those who served in World War II and would be used by the Sunday School and church societies.

After delays caused by shortages of materials and Bureau of Industry concerns, the memorial hall was officially opened on 1 December 1951.

[7] Apart from the honour board remembering those who fell in World War II, the memorial also contained many tributes to former church members.

It was agreed to allow Cook and Kerrison to proceed with preparing specifications for renewing the floor and box guttering.

The interior of the former church was also repainted by Ash and Nephew, and Brisbane Lead Light Service repaired and installed various windows.

A concrete ramp to facilitate wheelchair access was installed, new stainless steel guttering was added to the former church roof, and the old hall was renovated.

[1] The bell tower, located on the Oxley Road side of the front elevation, is square in plan and capped with an eight-sided spire.

[1] The side walls of the former church consist of a series of reinforced concrete buttresses surmounted by pinnacles.

[1] The vestry located on the south-western corner of the church contains a ladder and doorway which provide access to the bell tower and spire.

[1] The rendered concrete ceiling is suspended below timber roofing members and incorporates simplified Gothic-style tracery and V-shaped coffers.

[1] Internal joinery is generally silky oak including an altered choir front and pulpit.

It is also similar in construction to the church, although the hall employs slightly different pre-cast concrete units for the walls.

It is a timber construction with sash windows, a central gabled projection and a corrugated iron hipped roof.

[1] The former Graceville Uniting Church Complex was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 24 September 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.

The former church and hall are significant as good representative examples of the Inter-War Gothic Style of architecture.

[1] Until its 2022 closure, the former church and the hall were in continuous use providing for the spiritual, recreational and social needs of the Graceville Community, creating a strong and special association with the site.

Taylor was also a major financial contributor to the construction of the complex, and included expressions of his faith in the design and layout of the former church in which he worshipped for many years.
