  COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
  While specifically built as an RSL hall, this building can be included as one of an important group of soldiers' memorial halls. Other examples of purpose-built soldiers' memorial halls in Moyne Shire are at The Sisters, Orford and Minhamite; the hall at Mortlake was formerly the temperance hall. For a town of this small size to have an RSL hall suggests a strong group of local ex-service personnel.
