Description:
The heritage-listed community hall was erected to commemorate those who died in service or were killed in action during World War One and officially opened in 1921. The building contains three levels - basement, ground and first floors constructed of load bearing brickwork and timber floor framing, and stands prominently within a small central city park. The ground floor contains the former Assembly Room, Lounge and offices. A silky oak timber staircase leads down to the basement which contains meeting rooms and an office and has a separate entrance on the northern side from the adjacent park. The upper level, reached by a silky oak staircase, contains a variety of meeting rooms. The Ipswich Soldiers Memorial Hall Museum is currently located in the building.
