Kellerberrin Memorial HallPrint Page Print this page

The hall commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action in World War One and World War Two. It was opened by the West Australian Premier, David Brand in 1959.

In 1947, the Kellerberrin Road Board proposed to construct a hall known as the Eastern Districts War Memorial Hall which would serve as a Town Hall and as a Memorial to the men who fell in World Wars One and  Two. On June 9 1947, Mr Fitzhardinge a Perth architect submitted photographic illustrations, sketches and architectural designs for the board's consideration. The board requested the architect to prepare sketch plans for the hall.
