The Orangemen of Coleraine used Brook Street Schools for meetings up until the early 1900's. At a meeting of Invincible True Blues LOL 735 on 2nd September 1907 Brother Thomas Crawford proposed that consideration be given to building a hall. After a series of meetings a Building Committee was formed chaired by Brother F H Watt, Grand Master of Co. Londonderry.

The site for the hall was generously donated by the M.P. for North Londonderry Brother H T Barrie and the foundation stone was laid on Easter Monday 28th March 1910. Special trains brought Orangemen from Belfast, Londonderry, Magherafelt and other local Districts. A long procession made it's way from Lodge Road across the Bann Bridge and back to Union Street for the laying of the memorial stones by Mrs C E Stronge (for Lady Bruce), Mrs F H Watt, Mr H T Barrie and Major J A Torrens (representing Mr G H Moore-Browne).

Easter Monday 17th April 1911 again saw Orangemen from the cities of Belfast and Londonderry, South Londonderry and North Antrim join brethren from local districts for the opening of the new hall. The Orangemen and bands, headed by a company of Boy Scouts, made a circuit of the town from Lodge Road by way of Long Commons, New Market Street, New Row, The Diamond, Bann Bridge, Killowen Street, Bridge Street, Church Street and Railway Road to the new hall in Union Street.

Mrs Barrie performed the opening ceremony and she was presented with a gold key by Brother Daniel Gray, Deputy District Master. The first function, a social tea and concert followed by dancing, was held in the new hall that evening.

A management committee was formed of representatives from LOLs 5, 87, 316, 355 & 735 and RBPs 37 & 99, Brother S T Alexander was appointed chairman and Brother Thomas Crawford vice-chairman.
