Memorial Porch of the Myponga Institute, South Australia
Chairman proposed that an Institute be built, to be used also as council chamber and a memorial be prepared and sent to inhabitants, soliciting subscriptions. [Ref: South Australian Chronicle 28-10-1876]
The hall has been plastered and ceiled, and new stage curtains, lamps, a handsome semi-grand piano, and chairs secured and general improvements effected. [Ref: Chronicle 6-9-1902]
Tenders for improvements to the Myponga Hall not having proved satisfactory, the committee has decided to let the work to local tradesmen, the committee supplying the material.
Mr S J Herring is to do the stonework, and C Pearce the woodwork. Many donations in the form of both voluntary labour and money have been offered. [Ref: Chronicle 21-4-1938]
One of the largest crowds seen in Myponga assembled at the hall when the remodernised building was opened by Mr Connor, MP who was supported by Messrs Halliday and Bagot MLCs.
The hall itself was built on land originally acquired by the South Australian Company in 1841 and subsequently purchased from that company by Mr C W Eatts, the present secretary of the hall.
After the opening, visitors inspected the buildings, which now contain up-to-date cloakrooms, dressing rooms, a spacious stage, attached supper room, modern kitchen, and bio box. The kitchen contains stove, copper, flyproof cupboards, drainboard and sink. The hall itself has been refurnished throughout.
Dinner and tea were served by a committee of ladies. In the evening the enlarged hall proved inadequate for the crowed, which came from Adelaide, Victor Harbor, Goolwa, Willunga, McLaren Vale and Yankalilla for the opening ball. [Ref: Advertiser 22-9-1938]
