It also housed Union offices, where members could come to seek guidance, and from which the Contributory Unemployment Fund would be distributed.[1] In 2006 the building was threatened by a bypass and so was moved to the Black Country Living Museum. Design and constructionThe Institute's architect was local man A T Butler.[2] With its projected gables, leaded windows, exposed brickwork and signage in green tiles, the building is a demonstration of Arts and Crafts style.[3] HistoryConstruction of the Institute was funded using money left over from the strike fund of the 1910 women chainmakers' strike, led by Mary Macarthur.[4] Between 1915 and 1933 it largely functioned as a cinema.[1] It was then used as a billiards hall until 1950, after which it became postal sorting office until 1995.[1] It was moved to the Black Country Living Museum in 2006 after a bypass threatened the site.[5] It now contains period offices, which are demonstrated by Museum staff, and an exhibition about Mary Macarthur. The original auditorium houses a café for the museum and the stage is used for special events.[6] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Tuckwell|first=Gertrude|title=Letter from the Executive Committee of the Women's Trade Union League|date=April 1911|author2=Macarthur, Mary |author3=Shackleton, W.
