A legacy rooted in history

From its early days as a private residence to its later roles as a military hospital and museum, the hall has stood as a symbol of resilience and purpose. Its storied past, including Gatty's groundbreaking dyeing techniques like the famed Gatty Red, continues to inspire its mission today.
