Bryant Memorial Hall has cultural heritage significance as a good example of post World War II church architecture belonging to Uniting denominations. It is also a significant place of worship for Non-conformist groups and was used as a relief centre during times of hardship.
Bryant Memorial Hall is a single storey brick hall with a lean-to roof and an extended porch entrance that is marked by a tall brick column. The building is set in a carefully landscaped garden. A small reconstructed ‘L’ shaped wall at the front of the building was built using random limestone from the original building. A plaque is set within this wall, the text as follows: ‘These stones of the original church have been retained as a memorial to the pioneers who maintained worship in this place from 1870. This plaque commemorates the dedication and opening of the new community centre on 16th June 1985. ”
High Degree/High Degree Integrity Notes: The place retains a high degree of integrity. It is currently used as for Sunday school and play groups. Authenticity Notes: The place retains a high degree of authenticity. Archaeological Description: Nil
