NERRENA PUBLIC HALL - Physical Description 1
The Nerrena Public Hall is a gabled building of very utilitarian design with corrugated iron roofs and cement sheeted walls. It has a lower full width gable entry/toilet element at the front and a lower transverse hip section at the rear. A further skillion extension at the rear is probably a later addition, while a skillion verandah has also been added to the main hall section at the east side. The structure is of hardwood posts expressed on the exterior and steel roof trusses. It has large timber framed windows at the side and an external chimney at the east end of the rear hip. The use of Hardiplank cladding to the dado suggests that it replaces a former weatherboard dado. There are substantial Oak and conifer trees at the front and sides.
