The larger hall was built in 1891 in Ellis Street in the Knowsley Estate for the Stones Corner Lodge of the Society of Oddfellows. It was called Knowsley Hall, then Foresters Hall, before being bought by the Salvation Army Corps in 1925. The Corps relocated a smaller hall from Edith Street, Stones Corner a short distance across Old Cleveland Road to Montague Street that same year. It was put behind the existing hall. In early 1926, the site was officially opened as the Coorparoo Salvation Army Hall. The large building was named the Senior Hall. The smaller building was the Junior Hall. It remained a Salvation Army site until 1998.
