Mission House was in Canning St, opposite Brickfields reserve.
By 1905 the work had grown sufficiently for a completely new building to be opened in Canning St, opposite Brickfields Reserve.
The work may have been dependent on the quality and personalities of the staff employed for it. By the 1940s, the building and hall went through a period of various uses, and eventually it was sold to the Education Department for use as a student hostel.
