About Jordan Hall

Jordan Hall replaced the nearby 1867 Protestant Hall and was opened in 1938 as a popular place for entertainment with light-music and ballroom dancing. There may also have been a baby health centre there for some time. It was a good example of a community hall of the period with embellished architectural features, most evident in the Art Deco detailing of the parapet and the dual-tone brickwork.

The interior of the main hall was simply decorated with exposed painted brick walls and steel roof trusses. The building was used as the centre for RSL Youth Club activities for more than 50 years and it neatly terminated the view down Jordan Street. Gladesville RSL is developing the site for residential apartments with additional parking and the façade of Jordan Hall is being retained.
