Statement of Significance
The Kentdale Hall has social and historic heritage significance. It was used as a school for the local children of Group Settlements 105 and 110. The school opened on 31 May 1926 after a request from the local people to the Education Department. In 1929 the school was named Kentdale. Owing to the decline in student numbers it closed between 1947 and 1954 then reopened for a short time before finally closing in December 1960. The hall is still used today (2010) for a variety of purposes, eg Playgroup.
Physical Description
The hall is a typical rural one teacher school house, with a set of three sash windows on each side.
It is built of fibreboard and timber with a corrugated iron roof. There is a set of playground equipment on a cleared section near some mature pine trees planted in a row north of the hall. On the end of the hall is a small kitchen area with a fireplace. The hall has recently been painted in heritage colours.
On the same reserve there is a cement cricket pitch located.
