      Pearcedale Public Hall - Physical Description 1

      The Pearcedale Public Hall is a simple weatherboard building with a hip corrugated iron roof. The centrally located front door is flanked by small square four-paned windows, and there are multi-paned double hung sash windows in the side elevation. Changes to the original external fabric include:

      - Skillion additions that have been made to the side at the front and rear.
      - The front porch, which replaced an original porch of similar form.
      - The external cladding and roof material, which appear to have been completely renewed.

      The interior of the building was not inspected. The Hall is set within a triangular reserve facing Queens Road and is surrounded by mature trees include Monterey Pines and Eucalypts. It is opposite St Paul's Church of England.
