This building was built circa 1941 during World War II to serve as a military barracks at the Naval Air Station Banana River.[1][2] After World War II, the U.S. government declared the building surplus and subsequently sold it to the American Homesteading Foundation located at Melbourne Village.[1]

In May 1948, the building was moved to its current location and used as a community center.[2] Upon becoming incorporated, the Town of Melbourne Village used the building from 1957 until 1963 as office space until a new town hall was constructed.[1][2] In 2003, Melbourne Village completed restorations of the building[1] and renamed it Hester Wagner Community House in December of that year.
