History: This hall, of which the original plan by Sir Wolfe-Barry of London was incorporated in the later plans of architect W. H. Miles, was erected during 1883-1885. It was opened on 10 December 1885 by the Governor, Sir Hercules Robinson. The South African Exhibition was held here in 1885-86. The building has since played an important role in the commercial and cultural history of Port Elizabeth.
