The Methodist Meeting Hall was built in 1862, adjoining the rear south end of the Pirie Street Wesleyan Methodist Church (built in 1850 and since demolished). It was used by the Church and the Mutual Improvement Association as a school room and lecture hall. The Hall was one of two major additions made to the Church in 1862. The Hall is the last remaining part of a complex that was once the centre of Methodism in South Australia.

The hall is still used as a public venue.

The Meeting Hall is built of Dry Creek stone with brick dressings, and is a simple Gothic style. It has a slate roof, and slate and sandstone capped gables and buttresses. There are windows in the four gables on both the east and west sides.

The interior walls are rendered, and there are decorative plaster mouldings around the windows. Hammerbeam trusses are supported on stone corbels and a raised cedar gallery is supported on carved ribs, caps and columns. The ceiling is lined with matchboard and a ventilation system is built into the walls, below the windows.

The Hall was designed by Edmund Wright, one of the most prominent South Australian architects of the time. Wright was the architect for numerous buildings in South Australia between 1850 and his death in 1888. The Meeting Hall maintains the built character of the precinct at the rear of the Pilgrim Church in Flinders Street and Town Hall on King William Street, and is part of the wider Victoria Square conservation area.
