Other Halls in Western Australia
The local hall was often one of the first buildings to be constructed
in a new or pioneering locality after the hotel. It served as an important community centre
and meeting place. On this page are a number of halls encountered on travels. There are individual
pages for Town Halls, C.W.A. buildings, Masons Halls and RSL Halls on this web site. Many halls
featured on this page are specialised. Some might be Local Government owned but not easily verified
