Try.....

\offinterlineskip
\hrule
% with \setbox1=\vbox{\Large \hsize \something \noindent \strut text... \strut}
% where \something is the size of interest, say 30pc
\line{
	\vrule
	\box1
	\vrule
	\vbox{
		\hbox{\strut \quad Date: \hfil}
		\hrule
		\hbox{\strut \quad Time: \hfil}
		\hrule
		\hbox{\strut \quad Place: \hfil}
		}
	\vrule
	}
% if the height of box1 turns out to be greater than the sum of
% the heights of the stacked hboxes (and the little extra added
% by the hrules) then you'll need to add some extra glue or fill
% to even them out.
% similarly, if text ends up being set in the bottom of box1,
% and you want it at the top (or middle), add extra glue or fill
% to fix.
