MOUNT ECCLES PUBLIC HALL

The Mount Eccles Public Hall, at 3-5 Hall Road, Mount Eccles, designed by R. Owen and opened on 17 May 1905, is significant. It is a small gabled weatherboard hall with a corrugated iron roof and a skillion addition at the rear. There is a more recent large Hardiplank addition at the front in the form of a lower gable. The original hall has a turned finial at the ridge and paired casement windows at the sides, with a timber door between. 
Non-original alterations and additions, other than those specified above, are not significant.

The Mount Eccles Public Hall is of local historic and social significance to the South Gippsland Shire.

Historically, the Mount Eccles Public Hall is one of the earliest surviving halls within this part of the South Gippsland Shire. This hall is associated with the development of Mount Eccles in the early twentieth century as farms became established. (Criterion A) 
The hall has social significance for strong and enduring associations with the Mount Eccles community through its continuous use as a public hall for over 85 years. As Mount Eccles is an isolated area the hall has been central to forming connections and relationships within the local community and maintaining an identity to the area. (Criterion G)
