Statement of Significance

An unpretentious timber hall with a grandiloquent and very eclectic Edwardian Baroque facade, designed by Smith and Filler architects of Ballarat and built in 1904-5.

It is of regional historical significance as an extraordinary embodiment of the ideals and social values of its period and for its long association with social and benevolent developments in community life.

It is regionally architecturally significant as an extraordinary expression of an architectural style and of the work of its architects. As a benevolent society meeting hall it is a relatively rare and splendid survival.

Finally, it is socially significant to Bacchus Marsh as being known and valued by the community as part of its sense of identity and as a focus for social occasions.
