Federal Hall – Footscray
The Masonic Hall Footscray
“Footscray’s friendly societies, trade unions and social clubs gave life to the business centre in the
evenings and on weekends. Committees met in pubs and in lodge rooms.
Annual balls, smoke nights, fellowships, missions and breakfasts filled the four large public halls in
Footscray – the Federal, Royal, Irene and Masonic. Dances were held here in the ground level hall,
upstairs was the Masons’ meeting venue.”
