Excerpt from facebook.com:

In the early 1890's a hotel was built a short walk from the Allandale Railway Station. The YMCA moved into this location in 1907 and provided overnight accommodation for rail workers. Instead of heading to a number of nearby pubs the workers could now read or form bible study groups. At least that was the hope of the YMCA governors. By the 1950's demand for lodging diminished and it was closed. It is rumoured that it then became a "Gentlemen's Club". The Farmhouse Restaurant is the latest of three restaurants that opened in the old Allandale YMCA.
