Statement of Significance

From 1906 to 1947 the building was located tl Kundip. Used for social occasions. Use lapsed after decline of early mining boom but came into use again during the 1930's when Claude de Bernales carried out diamond drilling. In 1934 a subsidised school operated in the hall. Teachers were KR Wood, Doreen West, Margaret Carr and Hilda Marr. 'The mining resurgence was short lived and inhabitants of Kundip once again moved away.
