The Courthouse was originally built in Petrie by the Queensland Government Works Department in 1878.

In the early days the building also served as a community hall for various meetings, fund raising concerts, lantern slide evenings and occasional church services, before other venues became available.

It served the community as Courthouse and Police Station until 1962.

The building was then relocated to Kallangur and converted for use as the North Pine Baptist Church.

In 1982, it was moved to Old Petrie Town, to be the first building relocated at Hyde Village.

It is the oldest known preserved building in the Shire.
