The hall is one of the oldest in Manchester: it was founded in association with Owens College.

Houldsworth Hall, part of the Hulme Hall complex of buildings, was constructed in 1907[3] (Edwardian), whereas most of the local buildings are Victorian, for example the Anglican parish church (St John Chrysostom)[4] which was built in 1874 - 1877. Local student attractions include the Whitworth Art Gallery and the Curry Mile on Wilmslow Road.
