Statement of Significance
The Wilga Uniting Church (formerly school) is significant as an example of a rural school building. The relocation and change of use of the building is significant to the local community and typical of the reuse of scarce building materials which is charcteristic throughout the rural areas of Western Australia.
History
Wilga Uniting Church was originally constructed by the Education Department as the Wilga School in 1927. The school closed in 1954 and the building was purchased from the estate of E and F Shepherdson and donated to the methodist Church in their memory. The Moethodist Church subsequently became the Uniting Church,
