Description / Background

This timber memorial hall has a galvanised roof and is located on the Bruxner Highway.

A public meeting was held in the McKees Hill Hall on Wednesday, 21 May 1947, to consider construction of a memorial hall. A committee was formed and advertised for subscribers. The earlier hall was called Tomki Hall. 

The Northern Star, 29 May 1948 advertised a general meeting to be followed by a committee meeting "on the 4 June, 1948 at 8pm, to finalise transfer and rebuilding of the hall, as consent has been granted to rebuild." 

The Soldiers Memorial Hall was officially opened on Wednesday, 20 September 1950. That day, The Northern Star stated "the hall has been constructed as a memorial to those men of the district who paid the supreme sacrifice in the two World Wars." It was completed mainly by volunteer labour and contained a supper room and kitchenette.
