EAST DONCASTER HALL - Physical Description 1
The hall is a primarily cavity clinker-brick building, with large sections of pressed red brick. It has a gable roof clad in corrugated Colorbond steel with the ridge running east-west. The main gable end over the front (east) entrance is cement sheet with coverboards and a timber lattice vent at the apex. (The gable end was almost certainly originally asbestos cement sheet, through it may have been replaced with more modern fibre cement sheet in the recent renovations.) Other gableends are weatherboards with a similar timber lattice vent. An articulated double gable projects from below the main ridge on the south side, and another secondary gable projects from the main roof line on the north-west corner.
On the south-west corner is a skillion-roofed brick toilet block.
Windows are four-light double sashes, the top sliding, as for a conventional double-hung sash; the bottom is a hopper. There are three buttresses on each side of the main hall (north and south facades); they are beside rather than between the windows.
The main entry is to the east in the centre of the gable end wall; there is a second door at the rear (north) of the building opening onto a brick and concrete landing.
