The Warralakin Hall has significance in being a social and recreation facility that prevents isolation within the community and maintains the social aspect of the district.
Situated in the Warralakin townsite within a natural setting on Lot 16 of the townsite. It is a timber framed building with corrugated wlls and roof with two doors at the rear of the building and one door at the front with wooden steps at each door. The building is unlined and has jarrah timber floors which are maintained with oil.
Warralakin was gazetted in 1928 and the hall was rebuilt in Warralakin in 1935 after it was dismantled and transported from Burracoppin via Southern Cross to Warralakin by rail. The original hall at Buracoppin was a workshop and was built by Tom Bullock. The hall was rebuilt by local farmers at Warralakin. The hall supported dances, plays, voting, meetings and films. The surrounding districts of Geelakin, Warrachuppin and Booderockin came for the social events. From 1947 onwards the use of the hall declined due to the modernised transport. The hall fell into disrepair in the later years and was revitalised in 1997 by the Warralakin Community.
