History
The Applecross District Hall was constructed in 1934 to the design of W. M. Bennett, architectural partner in the firm Wales Cohen and Bennett. The architectural style reflects the popular fashion of the early 1930s, the Inter-War Art Deco style. The building is located on a prominent corner site close to Canning Highway and opposite the Raffles Hotel (1937) and the Canning Bridge (1937).
The place reflects the residential suburban development of the Applecross locality in the 1930s and the provision of public building specifically designed for community gatherings and meetings. That use continues up to the present day.
