The Avon Plains Memorial Pavilion, 1903 Donald-Avon Plains Road, Avon
Plains, is a reasonably intact memorial interwar structure built in
1918 by a local committee to commemorate the local servicemen who
fought in World War One. The Avon Plains Memorial Pavilion is architecturally
significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original
design qualities of a rudimentary interwar style. These qualities
include the octagonal form, single storey height, horizontal
weatherboard wall cladding, galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding
and finial. Other intact qualities include the moderate eaves, bank of
timber window frames, doorway and timber door. The Avon Plains Memorial Pavilion is historically and
socially significant at a LOCAL level. It is
associated with the commemoration of servicemen of the First World
War, having been constructed by a local committee in 1918. The
pavilion is also recognised and valued by the Avon Plains community
for these commemorative reasons. Overall, the Avon Plains Memorial Pavilion is of LOCAL significance Due to white ant damage the pavilion was demolished c2012 and it is
not known what happened to the contents. (added W. Jacobs 6 March 2015)
