Statement of Significance

The building has a social significance as the one-time social centre for the surrounding community.

Physical Description

The hall is in a natural bush setting, facing west to the Merredin - Nungarin Road, although approached on the south side from the Nakarni East Road. The original weather-board and iron building under a Dutch Gable roof has a full width kitchen addition at the rear, under a skillion roof, with an external brick chimney. On the south side there is a clumsy fibro and iron patch addition, with an external door facing east. There is an outdoor barbecue area,
fenced with corrugated fibro, on the north side.

Integrity/Authenticity

Although the lines of the original building can clearly be seen, the integrity is only fair because of additions which nevertheless have mellowed with age.
Modifications: Timber, fibro and iron kitchen with timber double hung
windows addition at rear (east side); fibro and iron gable
roofed porch to south side; aluminium windows.
