It was built in 1995 and was designed and positioned to compliment the style of the old council building alongside, which is now the Fairfield City Museum. It was built in 1913 as the first council chambers of the Municipality of Smithfield and Fairfield, which was incorporated in 1888.
The Fairfield City Museum is located on The Horsley Drive in the western suburb of Smithfield. The museum was built in 1913 in the Edwardian archictectural style with touches of Victorian style, as the first council chambers of the Municipality of Smithfield and Fairfield, which was incorporated in 1888. The council chambers moved to Fairfield when it had become the commercial centre in the area and this property was sold and converted into a family residence. The local council recognised the historical value of the property so bought it again and opened it as a museum in 1983. Numerous buildings were also moved or erected on this property to create a village atmosphere of the early 1900s. The Stein Gallery was built in 1995 and was designed and positioned to compliment the style of the old council building beside it. This art gallery is named after one of the foundation members.
