Note: This Hall has been demolished. 

Former description:

Originally known as Soldier's Memorial Hall, on 21 October 1922, a train carried soldiers from Newcastle to Kahibah Station for the official opening.

Before closing, the Hall displayed two Honour Rolls and a photograph memorial to Robert Oliver who was killed in Timor in the defence of Dili on 14th August 1942.

The Honour Rolls and photo can now be found in the Kahibah Public School Memorial Hall. In 1938, the Kahibah Infants School occupied the Hall and remained there until 19 October 1954. The next day they were transferred to the current school site, 280 metres south of the Hall. In 1996, the Hall was demolished.
