Statement of Significance

The place represents the history of sporting organisations in the district. The building represents an example of architectural work of its type for the period.

Physical Description

The building is of cement bricks with a cement tiled roof. The central area facing east is open on to a verandah with kitchen and ladies toilet facilities on the north side, drink room, office and men’s toilet facilities on the south side.

History

Sporting – The building was first built in 1953 and reflects community spirit in the district. Community volunteers recognised the need to develop and enhance tennis activities in the district and combined their resources to construct the building. Decreasing town population and interest in tennis has resulted in the close of the tennis club house.

Integrity/Authenticity

Authenticity : High to medium degree
Integrity : Intact or redeemable

Condition

Poor – The building is badly in need of major maintenance and restoration. A great number of cracks appeared in the walls after earth tremors. Until such work is carried out it would probably be unsafe for public use.
