A large rectangular hall constructed of concrete blocks with a corrugated iron hipped (to rear) and gabled (to front) roof. To the front elevation the roof is concealed behind a stepped parapet with a row of red bricks to the top. The double timber entrance doors are recessed. Above the doors is a wrought iron sign which reads 'Baranduda Memorial Hall'. Windows comprise paired timber 2-pane sashes with protective mesh internally. There is another set of timber doors to the south side (new doors to replace old ones which are still on site but have rotted). Internally the ceiling is unlined and reveals the steel trusses with silver insulation secured with chicken wire. The walls are painted to window sill height. The floor is timber boarding and there is a temporary stage to the eastern end. There is a skillion roofed toilet block addition to the north side (in concrete blocks), and a small skillion section to the eastern end.

Veterans Description for Public
Baranduda Memorial Hall - Veterans Description for Public
The Baranduda Memorial Hall, on the Kiewa Valley Highway, was built in 1955 as the result of the efforts of the local community. A committee was formed during the Second World War and a building application was first approved on 6th February 1944. To raise money, dances were held regularly in a local woolshed or barn however construction was delayed for many years. The building was completed and opened in April 1955. After it was built the hall was a popular venue for functions, until the Wodonga Civic Centre was built in the early 1970s. The hall was taken over by the Wodonga City Council in 1977. It is the headquarters for the 1st Bandiana Scouts.
