In 1923, members of the Loyal Orange Lodge at Hazelridge, in the Rural Municipality of Springfield, constructed a meeting hall to replace a store that had been built on the site in 1908 and destroyed by fire. In the late 1950s, the Orange Hall was used for additional classroom space when student enrollment in the nearby Hazelridge School exceeded its capacity.
The building was demolished on 27 May 2015.
