The place has associations with the earliest Anglican church services in Wongan Hills, the beginnings of the Anglican parish, and early settlers of the time. It also has significance as a former school and for associations with the boy Scouts in Wongan Hills.
Brick rendered, with a fibro clad gable infill, the roof is gabled and clad with corrugated iron. A lean to room has been added to one side of the building.
The hall was used for services until the new church was opened in 1932. The Parish of Wongan Hills came into being with the Induction of Reverend Mearing on 30 October 1929. It was used for school purposes at some stage. The old rectory ??where?? was built prior to 1928. Boy scouts met in the shed behind the rectory (where the Minister lived), and Reverend Hall was the Scoutmaster assisted by Ed Stickland.
