Physical Description

Located in a rural setting, surrounded by undulating farm and forest
country, this building, constructed of weatherboard and asbestos, is
rectangular in design and has a pitched, corrugated iron roof. The floors
are timber, and there are three windows on each side of the building. The
entry door was in the front from the open porch-way. Since the building
has become a hall and recreational centre, the porch is now enclosed with
asbestos. There is one window and the entry door is relocated to the side.
Tennis courts were constructed later than the building – the first having
been built in 1927.

History

The earliest settlers in the Upper Warren District were Arthur Clarke
(Fern Hollow), Walter Blechynden, John Mottram (Rockbridge) and
Peter Wheatley (Clover Cottage). The four families were responsible for
the building of St Mark’s Anglican Church which was also used as a
school for the local children between 1891 and 1920. Jack Haynes built
the church, as well as Fern Hollow, Clover Cottage and Dingup Church.
This building was constructed around 1924, as a replacement for the
‘local ‘school’ conducted at nearby St Mark’s Anglican Church. It
served as the school until 1942. It was also used as a hall and
recreational centre for the district. The tennis courts were a later
addition. One source dates the courts as built in the 1940s, while a sign
at the site indicates that the first court was built in 1927.
