History and Architecture:
In 1907 the present Trinity Hall was built as the Holy Trinity Church by Taylor Brother for £595. It was a rough cast building with outside strappings of jarrah timber and a small steeple giving it the appearance of an English church. A larger church was soon required and the present brick church was consecrated in 1922 with the copper spire being added in 1926. Further additions were made in 1998 including offices, meeting rooms, a kitchen and an enclosed entrance linking the two buildings together.
A Foundation stone reads, " This stone was laid to the Glory of God on 16th July 1921 by His Excellency the Governor of Victoria Colonel the Right Honorable The Earl of Stradbroke KCMG. KB. CV CBE. ADC. - Gawler & Drummond Architect - C.G. Brazier B.A. Vicar. - J Kinsman Builder".
