Statement of Significance

The Carrolup Hall has provided facilities for community activities over the years. Extensive records and plans of the building are held by Brent Ladyman.

Physical Description

Horseyards, jumps and riding arenas were laid over the golfing greens and fairways. The Methodist Church hired the hall on occasion for social dances. Theatricals and public meetings have been held in the hall over the years and is was also used as a polling place. Since being used by the Pony Club many alterations and modifications have been made. During camps the hall converts to a dormitory.

History

Carrolup settlers built the Agricultural Hall on Reserve 1702 in 1902. The committee elected to supervise building from Government Grant of 250 Pounds. Plans and specifications were drawn up. On the 5th March 1902 the Hon. F.H. Piesse officially opened the Hall which has since been used for Church services, as a school, a golf club and now a pony club.
