Possibly built in 1941, for the Salvation Army, although its style is more reminiscent of the Federation period (1890-1915). It was then taken over and used as the Baptist Church, possibly in the mid-late 1960s, then in the 1970s was turned into the Scout and Guide Hall, which was their second headquarters.
