A hall representing an integral component of the early twentieth-century built heritage of Bunclody with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the symmetrical plan form; the construction in a honey coloured granite with red brick dressings producing a mild polychromatic palette; and the high pitched roofline.
