Claremont Ward Cultural Hall
My best guess is that this space used to be the Cultural Hall. If so, we are looking at what used to be the stage. Through the arch on the right would have led to the Chapel.

This would have been the front of the chapel where the location of the rostrum was.

Claremont Ward Chapel Interior
I am not positive, but believe that this space used to be the chapel, and through the arches is where the Cultural hall / overflow used to be. Through the left arch you can see the wood paneling and doors leading to the main entry lobby of the building.
