ARCHITECTS ACCOUNT Sited on the ‘flat-fields’ area outside Hillsborough, the Sir William Allen Memorial Hall was officially opened by the then Minister for Home Affairs Rt. Hon. W.B. Magennis L Ed QC MP in December 1953. In its early years, the building accommodated much activity playing host to the local Moira Young Farmers, various Evangelical Missions, Orange Institution events and many local dinner dances. Throughout the course of this project there have been a surprising number of people who have expressed connection with the building throughout its existence.
