The initial Town Hall was built in 1923 on the same site of the Boddington Town Hall. The Settler's Association were responsible for building and managing the Hall. It was made of timber weatherboard and corrugated iron. Not long after the Marradong Roads Board took over in 1941, an announcement for a new Hall was made. Resistance was most apparent in the Marradong and Quindanning districts, where closer infrastructure was available. Three years later, in 1957, the new Hall was built despite community opposition. Internal features within the Hall were considered significantly progressive for the 1950's. Such featuresinclude a projector room, a cloak room, a proscenium arch stage with rear access, adjacent dressing rooms, internal toilets, and an established kitchen.
