Statement of Significance

Socially significant for the settlers to provide a building for entertainment which went on to hold talking pictures in 1932. Architecturally significant due to the brick and masonry work carried out on the building, typical of the 19201s. Mechanics Institute was erected in 1911 in brick, originally thought to be timber frame construction. Library room added with first shipment of book on 14/10/1911.
