The site and place demonstrates a way of life associated with the original and subsequent generations of Shackleton settlers. The site and place represent the centre of the social and community interaction in Shackleton until the 1970's. The site and place engender a 'sense of place' for Shackleton people.
Red brick construction with a corrugated iron roof. The double storey frontage has a stepped parapet and the single storey side wings also have stepped parapets.
The land for the hall was donated by Dr Jermyn and the settlers built the first corrugated iron hall in 1913. It was the venue for many socials and meetings. In 1920, a new hall was constructed. In 1923, the first Shackleton school commenced in the hall with Mrs Leedman teaching. In 1955, the Roads Board constructed a new hall at a cost of 9700 pounds. In 1956, overflow classes from the school used the hall for school when the Kwolyin School was closed.
