3 Broughton Road, Artarmon
Martha Sloan bought the land in 1908 on which the Drill Hall was built. In 1918 Herbert Sparrow Hart purchased the property and leased it to the Trustees for the Artarmon School of Arts. The School provided a lending library and recreational facilities for its members. The property was acquired by the Church of England in 1926 and renamed St Basil’s Institute and continued the work of the School. Later it became the Church Hall and was also used as a Community Centre. The Hall played an important role in the social life of local residents as a venue for activities such as regular local theatrical productions. In 1980 the Hall was sold for redevelopment.
