A Victorian rustic gothic style hall, a snapshot in the history of Deloraine, has become available for the first time in four decades. Recognised as a nationally significant building, the Odd Fellows Hall was built in 1883 by one of the oldest fraternal societies in history, the Odd Fellows lodge. The hall was a meeting place for many local organisations for decades before being converted into a laundry with a 3-bedroom dwelling at the rear.

For 40 years the laundry has provided an essential service to the Deloraine community and has contributed to the wider economy. The business is open 24/7 and generates a modest annual return. The dwelling at the rear of the building is currently a private rental.

The property is available as vacant possession only, walk in walk out, as is where is. The options for this historic building are many and varied. Although the building would benefit from some maintenance and restoration the bones of the property are very solid.

Brick construction featuring high ceilings and laden plaster internal walls, decorated barge boards, finial, central 6-panelled door and flanking semi-circular window heads, approaching the building and stepping through the door is like stepping back in time. Fortunately, the installation of the internal laundry infrastructure and all of the equipment has been achieved without compromising the structure of the original building and could be easily removed.

Zoned general business the building lends itself to conversion into any number of businesses by utilising the facade and historic significance of the building. The dwelling at the rear of the hall consists of a functional kitchen, bathroom and boasts three bedrooms and a living room and would complement any business as staff and patron amenities. The property is serviced by commercial grade mains water, sewerage and has LPG connected via large bottles. Maybe conversion into boutique accommodation could be an option, subject to approval from local authorities.
