The Coorow District Hall has considerable social significance for its important role in the social and recreational activities of the community for 40 years. It has further significance given its role in local government of the district.
A medium size rectangular hall with central roof and two lean-to roofs each side. The side walls have brick buttresses and are rendered to one metre height. Windows along each side of the building are timber framed and double hung. The entry porch has a flat roof leading via steps to double entry doors. Standing metal letters 'Coorow District Hall' are situated above the entry porch.
The Coorow Hall was built at a cost of £20,000, and funded by a loan raised by Carnamah Road Board on behalf of the Coorow Ward ratepayers. It was opened by Hon. D. Brand MLA on 04/08/1956 before a crowd of 300. This was followed by a dinner for 50 guests of the Carnamah Roads Board and a debutante ball of 500 guests. (Source: Irwin Index 10/08/1956).
