Originally constructed as a single level School of Arts in 1880, this building has had several extensions and makeovers during the past 140 years, becoming the Bowral Memorial Hall in the 1920s. 
Considerable structural works were necessary for the latest refurbishment. Including new sub floor structure and flooring, underpinning of walls, and a rework of all services to current standards.
During the course of the project the Wingecarribee Shire Council Administration changed the end purpose of the hall from ‘General Purpose’ to ‘Concert Hall’ which required some rework of design and some construction delays.
This well completed upgrade has ensured that the historic building will continue as a Concert Hall/Performing Arts Centre for the Bowral Community for years to come.
