Statement of Significance
The Kununoppin Hall has considerable historic and social significance for its association with the recreational and social activities of the local community. Furthermore the Hall is representative of country halls, given its simple form and construction materials. The large extension is evidence of how the needs of the community have grown over time. The place also contributes significantly to the streetscape.
Physical Description
Located on the main street of Kununoppin the hall is a large rectangular timber framed building clad with horizontal weatherboards, painted cream. The place has a Dutch gable corrugated iron roof painted red with a lean- to roof at the rear. There is an entry porch to the south elevation which is enhanced by a small gable end. The entry porch is supported on timber posts and partly enclosed with fibro sheeting and bricks. Entry to the hall is via double timber doors.
History
The original part of the hall (the rear section) was built in 1923 by Jim Purdy. The remaining front section of the building was constructed in 1936. (Don Couper)
