HALLSTON PUBLIC HALL & MEMORIAL CAIRN - Physical Description 1
The Hallston Public Hall is a rectangular timber half hip interwar hall with weatherboard walls and a corrugated iron roof. The side windows are four paned hoppers. The original building appears to have been a simple gabled structure with the half hip roof being formed by returning the roof planes across the front and rear additions. At the front is a small gabled porch in front of a recessed entry. It is set back from the road behind Cypress trees. The former Hallston State School is situated on the adjacent site to the west.
There is Memorial Plaque attached to a stone adjacent to the north boundary fence which reads:
"1878-1978. This plaque commemorates Hallstons' first 100 years and was unveiled by Cr. MJ O'Bryan on 11 March 1978."
