Rechabite Hall is a heritage-listed building in Perth, Western Australia, located at 224 William Street.^[1] It has operated as The Rechabite since 2019.^[2] It was constructed in 1924 for the Independent Order of Rechabites – a friendly society and part of the temperance movement – and was a popular dance hall in the 1920s.^[2] It was also used for balls, exhibitions, church services, conferences, annual meetings, school productions, and as an election polling station.^[3][4]

The hall was also a theatre venue and live music venue until it was damaged by a fire in 1980.^[2] The street level remained in use as shops.^[5] The building closed in the early 2000s in a state of disrepair.^[2] In the interim, performances were still held there in the early 2000s.^[6]

The building was listed on the City of Perth's heritage list in 2001, and on the State Register of Heritage Places in 2002. In 2016, approval was given for a $3 million refurbishment,^[3] and it re-opened in November 2019^[2] as four venues: a rooftop bar, a basement club, a performance hall and an eatery.^[7][8]

Rechabite Hall was designed by architect Edwin Summerhayes, as his last major work, in the Inter-War Free Classical style. The facade, entry foyer and hall are particularly noteworthy examples of the style; other significant architectural features include the entry hall's mosaic tile floor, main jarrah staircase, and the main hall's vaulted ceiling – extensively lined with pressed metal embossed decorative patterns. The hall is in a generally sound condition, with a moderate degree of historical integrity and authenticity. Damage from the 1980 fire is evident, and there have been some internal modifications made in the basement and the northern shopfront.^[5]
