Temperance????

Temperance Hall according to the Hobart Mercury was a local entertainment venue.  It was erected in 1888 and would seat 800.  Here is a photograph (click here) from about 1890.  A Mrs. Fisher and a Mrs. Arnold, both local widows, contributed corner stones.  Were they related to Fishers and Arnolds  mentioned in this journal?  Who knows.
