The Oddfellows' Hall, immediately north of the post office clock tower was built in 1859 by the lodge. It is one of the oldest original buildings in Murray St with only the addition of a 1940-50's concrete slab as a modern facade. The Baptist Church met in these premises prior to their church being built. The Literary Institute also used these premises from that time renting the lower rooms and having use of the hall, upstairs, 12 times per year for concerts etc. This was the actual venue for the first public singing of the Song of Australia on December 12 1859.

Memories of Murray Street 63 Oddfellows Hall
Rememberer::Brian Gordon Thom remembers: In approximately 1955, I can recall going upstairs on Saturday afternoons to the first floor where there were many full-size billiard tables, on which we played billiards or snooker. I cannot recall the name of any Club or business providing the opportunity to play on them.
