The structure, which stands at the corner of High Street and King Edward Street, a block north of Perth City Hall, is Category B listed, dating to 1907.

[4] Unlike today's three-storey structure, its predecessor was only two levels, the ground floor occupied by merchants, including D. Robertson booksellers[5] and James Wotherspoon's hatters[6] shortly before its demolition.

[4] The foundation stone of today's structure was laid in the second half of 1907 by incumbent Dean of Guild, James Barlas.

The hall was deemed beyond economic repair, and was sold for development.

The Guild used the funds to purchase new premises at 5 Atholl Street,[1] near the North Inch.
