 The panelling and woodwork were of teak, and the clock an exact replica of that at the Greenwich Observatory.On 23 July 1935 the Prince of Wales came to Jersey to open the Hall and unveil the portrait of King George V.

Davis requested four additional copies of the portrait from John St Helier Lander.These were given to the Howard College in Durban, Canada House, Australia House (now listed as hung in the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia) and New Zealand House (now in the collection of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa).
