Condition
Fair This building was constructed in two stages. The first to the rear of the lot is a former residence constructed in the early part of the 20th century. The occupant and builder of this residence have not been determined. By the late 1930s the property was owned by Kenneth Lowden who donated it to the Returned Services League in 1940. During World War II the RSL were an important group in the community and their presence in the centre of the town, not too distant from the War Memorial, was an important focus. In 1956, a brick meeting hall was added to the front of the existing building. This building currently includes a bar area, dance floor and a commercial kitchen.
