Statement of Significance

The place demonstrates a way of life asociated with Round Hill.

Physical Description

The place is a standard weatherboard/fibrous cement/CGI hall on timber stumps with timber flooring. The hall is rectangular in plan with small timber framed windows evenly spaced along its side and frontage. The weatherboard to sill level is painted brown and the fibrous cement off-white. What appears to be a small ablution block is situated at the rear of the property.

History

The hall was the result of a local community initiative. It was dedicated to the Round Hill pioneers and opened by the oldest woman in the district at the time, Mrs J Paull. Meetings of the CWA, tennis, cricket, rifle and football clubs, debating society, the bi-monthly church service, dances, socials all took place in this hall. It has also been the venue of many country "Hops", polling booths for elections and the annual Christmas Tree parties, which still continue the tradition. The Round Hill Patriotic Fund was set up in June 1940 and all related to meetings and social events were held in the hall.
The Round Hill CWA was established in 1934 with Mrs Harvey the foundation president. Card evenings and dances were held in Harvey's barn in 1934 to raise funds for the hall.
