Trades Hall is opened
The foundation stone for Trades Hall was laid on Eight Hours Day, 2 September 1895 and the completed building was officially opened on 4 March 1896. From 1896 the completed Trades Hall housed offices of the UTLC, numerous individual unions, the United Labor Party and workers welfare organisations. In 1964 the South Australian Parliament legislated to enable the sale of the building and in 1972 a new building was opened on South Terrace.
