The full name of this is given as the Ebenezer Welsh Calvinist Methodist Chapel though it opened (in 1805) simply as Ebenezer Chapel.

It was described as being 'of  large and respectable appearance'. The 1823 Gore states that Whitfield's Methodists worship there, that it was built in 1805 and that its outside dimensions were 57 ft by 48 ft. (Gore 1829). Philip Mayer points out that this date makes it the 4th or 5th oldest place of worship built in toxteth.

The 1823, 1843 and 1860 Gore place the chapel at number 41 Beaufort (=Bedford) Street, between Stanhope Street and Upper Harrington Street and it is found in the 1858 Gore, un-numbered but in the correct place to be number 41.

The name is shown as the Welsh Calvinist Chapel or Ebenezer on the 1838 map. The chapel was then rebuilt in 1840. A further name change followed on the 1864 map, which shows Welsh Methodist Chapel. This is probably because the congregation left in the 1860s to join the Welsh Presbyterian Church on  Princes Avenue and the Ebenezer Chapel address vanishes from trade directories after 1860 though it is shown as the Welsh Methodist Chapel on the 1864 map. Number 41 is not recorded at all in Gore for 1881, when the chapel closed.

It was  used by the Salvation Army from about 1881 to c1892. From c1892-3 it was used as a Mission Hall. A complete change of use followed and it opened as the Stanhope Theatre in Nov. 1894. The Liverpool Review, 26 Dec. 1896: says "recently purchased by the Kyrle Society" (a religious sect). It was then renamed Queen's Theatre, but was only licensed from Oct. 1897 to Oct. 1898, at which latter date there was no application for a licence.

(It is not figured in Gore for 1894,1911,1936 or 1938. By 1955 much of the block is simply a store for the brewers, Peter Walker or Cains until the 1960s. It has since been demolished. The date of its disappearance is not known.
