Rechabite Hall, Perth

Rechabite Hall is a heritage-listed building in Perth, Western Australia, located at 224 William Street.

[2] It was constructed in 1924 for the Independent Order of Rechabites – a friendly society and part of the temperance movement – and was a popular dance hall in the 1920s.

[2] It was also used for balls, exhibitions, church services, conferences, annual meetings, school productions, and as an election polling station.

In 2016, approval was given for a A$3 million refurbishment,[3] and it re-opened in November 2019[2] as four venues: a rooftop bar, a basement club, a performance hall and an eatery.

[7][8] Rechabite Hall was designed by architect Edwin Summerhayes, as his last major work, in the Inter-War Free Classical style.
