Methodist Church (former)/Stoliarsky School of Music  This building was originally constructed in 1888 as a church for the Hill End Primitive Methodist congregation. Arthur Morry, politician, architect and lay preacher, designed the church and was heavily involved with the church's activities, even after he became Mayor of South Brisbane in 1890. The church was originally built in Grey Street but was moved to its present location in Dornoch Terrace in 1914. Due to declining numbers in the post-war period, the church closed, and in 1971 the building was sold to trustees of the Light Opera Music Company who converted the hall into a musical theatre known as The Music Box. Since the 1980s the hall has operated as the Stoliarsky School of Music.
