The Bradford branch of the Latvian Welfare Fund was established on 15 August 1948 and membership grew quickly as other local branches combined with it. The need for their own property became essential to accommodate their active social life, and a two-storey brick building in the town’s garden area was obtained in 1955. At the beginning there was a function room accommodating 150 people with suitable side rooms for a weekend school and bar. The garage was converted to suit sports activities. 1961 saw building works for a new function room with a stage, accommodating 300 people. Over the years various improvements were undertaken: central heating, new furniture, alarm systems, parquet flooring in the function room, a new front door with decorative glass panelling and the Latvian Welfare Fund's logo over the top. The bar was extended in 1976 and an extension was added to the function room. The interiors displayed many paintings by Valters Bērziņš, Latvian towns’ coats of arms drawn by V. Bušēvics, and a stained glass window in the bar area of the view of Riga across the river Daugava.

This property is still in use for social events and activities of various cultural groups.
