Statement of Significance
This building has a strong Art Moderne presence despite being an adaptation of a previous building and having been modernised in the 1960's. It's impressiveness is enhanced by surrounding ovals and predominantly single storey residences. For eight decades it has been an important social and civic venue as the local administrative centre between 1920 and 1965, a cinema, a reception centre and community hall.
Physical Description
This building was the original Town Hall and Picture Theatre. It shows evidence of three major renovations. The predominant style, both externally and internally, is the art deco or art moderne style of the 1939 alterations. The brickwork is painted, with the streamlining, fins and other decorative features painted to contrast. The east side of the building and the lines of the corrugated metal roof appear to be the original style. To the immediate west is a high walled garden.
