Well composed, this community hall incorporates a strong horizontal bias, which is balanced by the use of a stepped pediment, characteristic of the mid twentieth-century design.

The hall forms an eye-catching feature in the streetscape and contributes to the architectural diversity of Castleconnell's townscape.
