The front part was used as a commercial space and other purposes on the first floor, lodge space for the Odd Fellows local group on the second floor; the rear was available as a community room where dances were sometimes held.[2]

It has also been known as Rooney's Hall and as the Star Theatre.[2]

In 2004 the building was purchased by the Mountain Valley Bank, which was renovating it for use as a bank branch.[2]
