Physical Description
The hall is a reinforced concrete pavilion construction. The main hall roof is hipped with a gable detail front and back. The street frontage has a concrete formed parapet wall which is stepped in the centre between two pilasters. A flat roof porch extends over the front entry door. Extensions on the south side are cavity brick construction with a low pitched gable corrugated asbestos roof.
History
In 1929, this hall was built in Ballidu, replacing the former Agricultural Hall. A hall committee managed the hall. Movies were screened in Ballidu from 1928, first in the former hall and then in this hall. Church services were conducted in the hall until the respective congregations constructed their own churches. Community groups meet at the hall, and it is the venue for many community and social functions and celebrations.
