Statement of Significance

The place is representative of other simple structures erected in this period in WA.

Physical Description

The hall is set in a smal patch of bush alongside St John on the Wilderness. It was erected by original settlers in 1904 of local stone with a corrugated iron roof. It features the original supper room and two small rooms, cloak rooms or card rooms constructed of weatherboard. These were replaced during restoratoin in 1978 with a hardiplex and cement floor kitchen (supper room) and store room. The hall has no ceiling or lining. It measures approximately 45ft x 22ft. A new toilet block of brick construction in 1978 replaced the older 'thunder boxes' way out the back.

The predominant features of the place include the high pitched metal roof, the timber finial at the gavle apex, the face stonework and brick quoining and symmetrical facades. The Simple Rural Federation Era.
