At 30 Grant Street, next to the junction with Brown Street. The welfare hall was built in 1914 for the Catch-my-Pal Union, a temperance organisation. The drum clock was originally on the town steeple, before it was brought here in 1931. After lying derelict for a number of years, the hall was restored in 2017. It is now in use by Inverness City Boxing Club and Merkinch Partnership. It is a Category C listed building. http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB43488 For another view, see Image A similar view from 2011 Image
