      Avon Plains Memorial Pavilion, 1903 Donald-Avon Plains Road, AVON PLAINS - Physical Description 1

      The Avon Plains Memorial Pavilion, 1903 Donald-Avon Plains Road, Avon Plains, has a rural setting amongst gum trees and native grasses.

      The single storey, octagonal, horizontal weatherboard, rudimentary interwar styled Avon Plains Memorial Pavilion is characterised by a pyramidal roof form clad in galvanised corrugated iron (painted red) surmounted by a finial. Moderate overhangs are a feature of the eaves, while square galvanised iron gutters appear to have been introduced in recent years. The bank of timber window frames are early, although the glazing is missing. The doorway and timber door are also early.
