The site represents the a way of life no longer practiced. It represents the community co-operation and the value of education.
The first hall was built in 1916 by voluntary labour. It had a timber floor, weatherboard walls and a bush roof. The first school in South Kumminin opened in the hall in 1925, and continued until 1932 when it was temporarily closed at that venue while efforts were made to establish a school building. Later the hall was replaced by a more substantial building. The Roads Board took the hall over, and it continued to be used as the CWA centre and other community meetings.
