Statement of Significance

The hall is valued by the local community as a long-standing venue for social events and functions, while the oval is valued as a public recreational reserve.

Physical Description

The place comprises a single-storey timber-framed hall building with a medium pitched corrugated iron gable roof, and a distinctive brick entry wall inscribed with 'Karragullen Hall'. A steel-framed entry porch with a skillion roof is located centrally on the front elevation, sheltering the main entry doors. Aside from the front elevation, the walls are clad with weatherboards and fibro and feature large timber-framed windows that have been fitted with aluminium security screens. The hall is located at the northwest side of the intersection of Old Station Road and Saunders Way, opposite Karragullen Oval. The oval is on a raised embankment and is edged by jarrah forest. A mature pine tree is located near the entry ramp off Saunders Way.

History

The original Karragullen Hall was opened on 18th July 1921. After being transferred to the Roads Board in 1934, the Hall was extended. In late 1959, a new and larger hall was opened and the original hall was sold and removed from the site. The oval is the site of the Karragullen Field Days.
