The Stirling Community Services Building was completed in 1927. The upper floors served as a community centre. The lower area served as offices, the town jail, and other community functions. The auditorium served as Stirling's movie theatre from 1936 until the mid-1950's.
By 1982, the Community offices needed more modern accommodation and moved out. There was talk of demolishing the facility, but local residents took up the cause of preservation and restoration. A committee was formed and charged with turning the facility into a performing arts centre.
