      Harkaway Hall - Physical Description 1

      Constructed in weatherboard, this typical, simple, rural hall is quite wide in cross section, with a large undecorated gable. It contains at least two extensions to the rear and one to the west side, illustrating the process of adaptation typical of such community buildings. A recently constructed porch with treated timber posts shelters double entry doors at the front and there is a second side entry. The double-hung sash windows are set within wide moulded architraves. Internally, the walls have been relined and the ceiling covered. Old metal ties are intact as is a fireplace in the west skillion. There is a good collection of historical photographs in the hall which depict various stages of the hall's development and that of the neighbouring school.

      The Harkaway Hall is located on Crown land and is owned by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The property has an area of approximately 2645 square metres.
