The Parryville Hall has social and historic heritage significance. It was originally built to serve as a school for Group 113 of the Group settlers. Opened on 8 July 1925, it was renamed Kordabup School in November of that year. A second school was established in the area in 1926 and it was officially named Group 113 East End. From April 1927, the Kordabup School became Parry Inlet School. The School closed in December 1933 but reopened in 1937. Finally, in 1945, it closed its doors as a school and became a community hall for church services, dances and social gatherings.
The Parryville Hall is in an isolated rural position and is built from weatherboard, fibro and corrugated iron. It is relatively unprotected as there are no gardens or trees surrounding the building. The original water supply from a raised rain water tank can be seen at one end of the hall. The building has many of the typical features of a simple rural school, which was its first use. It has a gabled roof with tall wooden sash windows on either side of the hall.
Integrity: All, except roof.
