100 YEARS RUNANGA MINERS` HALL.2008.

About this image

DescriptionThe 1937 timber Hall has an impressive scale and form. The main structure is almost 39 metres long and 15.8 metres wide, excluding the lean-to kitchen and toilets. The Hall is entered through a central hallway, with ante-rooms on either side. It appears that a sizeable foyer was originally centrally located at the end of this hallway, with the stairs to the mezzanine floor included. The large auditorium showcases a coved ceiling, high panelled dado, and a flat timber floor. The mezzanine floor is a shallow raked balcony, and holds a central projection room at the top.
Outside, on the main façade of the Hall, slogans are emblazoned that encapsulate the rationale for the hall and its wider context. In a deliberate effort to connect to its predecessor, the same slogans are repeated that had been on the original Rūnanga Miners’ Hall, they are: ‘WORLD’S WEALTH FOR WORLD’S WORKERS – MINERS’ HALL Opened Dec 2nd 1908 – UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.’Date of Photo2008Map^[1]ContributorTony Kokshoorn
