Summary

Willunga Hall, once owned by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (Manchester Unity). The Hall was burnt down some years before 1941 and rebuilt, the old walls being used for the reconstructed building. This hall stood near the Bush Inn. Willunga Show was held in this Oddfellows Hall until 1888. The Willunga Branch of the Oddfellows Lodge opened in 1856. The foundation stone was laid in 1863 and land donated byEdward Rowlands, the owner of the nearby Bush Inn. The hall was built in Grecian style and was opened by the Governor who drove to Willunga in a four in hand. The porch was added in the early 1920s using stone from the demolished St Stephen's Church on Aldinga Road. The building was damaged by fire in 1923.
