The second Capel Hall was constructed on this site in 1911, after the original hall was found to be unsafe.(see ref No. 99) The Government offered £ for £ for a new hall. The Roads Board raised £400.00, and a 80' x 30' dressed jarrah hall was constructed. It included a supper room and portable stage, and allowed for the addition of a library and reading room at a later stage. It opened in May 1911. The timber hall on this site tragically burnt down in 1972. In 1974/5 the existing hall was constructed on the site.
