Ajana Hall

Statement of Significance

The Ajana Hall has important local significance historically and socially to the community as it provides a
link with past social activities of the district and is still used today for its original purpose.

Physical Description

The main hall has a trussed roof, braced back to wall columns. The roof extends down on both sides to form an
open verandah on the north and an enclosed lean-to on the south side where the stage is located with small rooms
on either side. The verandah is hipped around on the west side to enclose the kitchen etc. There are pairs of
ledged and braced entry doors; windows are double hung with two pane sashes.
Sloping architraves are over the heads of windows and doors internally and externally. The building is on stumps,
lifting it just above ground level. Internally there is a raised stage and the walls of the hall have vertical jarrah
boarding to dado height. Walls externally are weatherboard on the lower half with battened asbestos panelling
above.

History

From May 1942 to August 1951 the Ajana School was held in the Ajana Hall.
The Ajana Hall has been, and continues to be used for various community purposes, including functioning as the
tennis clubhouse. Tennis courts, barbeques and toilets are located adjacent.
