Background

History

Built as a courthouse in , when the original building ceased operating as a courthouse, it fell into disrepair and was even used at one point to store pesticides for the Prickly Pear Authority. In 2014, the Old Court House received new roof sheeting, gutters, eaves, render, internal and external painting and a disabled ramp through a $127,000 grant from Heritage NSW, $137,000 funding from the Upper Hunter Shire Council and a $10,000 donation from the Hunter Mutual Regional Bank. The building now serves as a multi-purpose function centre for lectures, plays, functions and debates.

Description

The front of the theatre building faces Kingdon Street, with a formal facade, flight of entry steps to the front portico, flanked by twin shrubs of may bush (Spiraea cantonensis). A low picket fence runs either side of the theatre's front along the boundary. To either side of the building is a grassed area with scattered tree plantings. To the left of the front facade is a golden rain tree (Koelreuteria bipinnata) and to the eastern boundary are a number of oleander (Nerium oleander cv.) shrubs and to the right (west) and set back towards the rear of the front building is a Brazilian peppercorn tree (Schinus molle var. areira).
