Designed by noted English architect William Butterfield, the Chapter House was for decades a meeting place of Church leaders. The Chapter House was built in 1891 in neo-Gothic style. Butterfield's original octagonal design was altered into a splendid rectangular building to accommodate the Synod and Diocesan administration for many years.

By 1985 they no longer used the Chapter House. The building gradually fell into disrepair and was seldom used. It was not until 1994 that extensive renovation began to faithfully restore and convert the building to an outstanding function venue.
