In 1888 the first meeting of those interested in the erection of an Anglican church in Indooroopilly was held and a committee formed to pursue this intention.

The construction of the brick church was deferred, and it was decided that a Sunday School hall would be erected on the land, at a cost not to exceed £300.

Webber had an understanding of ecclesiastical design and architecture generally and was responsible for bringing Buckeridge to Brisbane from London, as diocesan architect.

A number of memorials to former parishioners were added to the timber building which mainly included furnishings and ceremonial items.

[1] In 1963 the timber building was moved about 150 metres (490 ft) to the north-west and re-oriented 90°, prior to the construction of the new brick church.

The hall has a steeply pitched corrugated iron roof, and exposed stud framing and cross-bracing over chamferboards.

The southern end of the hall has a small decorative entrance portico with a pitched roof, while the extensions to the north (sanctuary c. 1902 and choir vestry c. 1930) have a lower roofline and project out to the east and the west.

[1] Internal alterations (c. 1965) have included the removal of decorative detailing associated with the sacristy, sanctuary and vestry for refurbishment as a kitchen, servery and store area.

The building is protected from water penetration by substantial roof overhangs with shaped eaves brackets, and broad timber weathercapping sloped at 45 degrees over a deep fascia around the base.

[1] The entrance portico is finely detailed with carved round columns, a barge-board with a cinq-foil motif, and an exposed roof structure over a timber boarded ceiling.

[1] St Andrews Church Hall was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 9 July 1993 having satisfied the following criteria.

The building's fine external decorative elements, in particular the entrance portico and windows and door framing exhibit aesthetic characteristics valued by the community.

[1] The place has a special association with the life or work of a particular person, group or organisation of importance in Queensland's history.
