  • <p>Coolgardie Town Hall and Gardens 62 Bayley Street, Coolgardie, WA</p>
            
              <h1>In 1928 the Town Hall lost it’s staging</h1>
            
              <p>The remnants of a cyclone swept through Coolgardie destroying many of the town’s buildings and damaging many others. The Church of England, the Wesleyan Church, the Fire Brigade Hall, the Tower and Royal Hall’s were all among those that were completely destroyed. One side was stripped off the Catholic Church and the Town Hall lost it’s staging. The Railway Hotel lost its balcony and the Denver City Hotel its roof. The Westral and Marvel Bar Hotel’s were both badly damaged, as was the Exhibition Building.</p>

              <p>First settled in 1887, Meckering was once a thriving rural community with a population in excess of 500.</p>
            
              <p>Within the town site there once stood various retail and general stores, a large two-storey brick-veneer hotel, three churches, several service stations, a beautifully appointed public hall, an aerated waters factory, post office and two banks.</p>
