This essay recounts the history of the Newcastle Relief Society hall, drawing primarily on the aforementioned history and official ward Relief Society reports filed with Salt Lake City church headquarters. As would be expected, in the story of the Newcastle hall one finds many of the themes emphasized in treatments of other Relief Society halls built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These themes include the resourcefulness and adaptability of women as they built or otherwise procured halls fitting their particular circumstances; the need for cooperation between women and men if a hall was to be successfully obtained and maintained; and the hall as a place where women had autonomy, especially economic autonomy, and as a symbol of permanence and refinement.
