It was a business providing entertainment such as plays, concerts, recitations, operas and so forth, and it could be rented for meetings. When it burned to the ground early in the 20th century, many were nostalgic but few lamented it passing. They eagerly awaited the construction of a new hall that, unfortunately, never materialized. Here Port Arthur’s Fire Brigade poses in front of it in all their finery.
