The township began talking about the need for a hall around 1904 and the following year a block along the main road was officially gazetted as a reserve for a hall.
A public hall was eventually built in 1908. It was soon deemed too small and replaced with a larger School of Arts hall in 1912. It was an impressive two-storey building, which included a library, reading room and supper room, as well as the main hall and stage upstairs. It was opened with great fanfare and celebrations.
The School of Arts was a mainstay of the town and used for many meetings, fundraising dances and euchre tournaments, and roller skating.
During the First World War (1914-1918) it was used by the Red Cross, the Comforts Fund Committee, and other groups contributing from the home front.
The debt of constructing the hall was finally cleared following a Queen Competition held in 1926.
The hall continued to be an important venue in the town through the decades, used for dances and other fundraisers, meetings, as a cinema for over three decades, for sports, debutante balls, weddings and all sorts of occasions.
Sadly, termite damage necessitated the removal of the ground floor in 1968. The upper floor remained solid and was lowered to its present position. The Eerwah Vale hall was moved into Eumundi and attached as an annexe on the southern side.
The hall ceased to be a 'school of arts' in 1989 and its operation was passed on to the Eumundi & District Historical Association. The building is listed in Queensland's State Heritage Register.
The hall continues to be a vibrant heart of the community today.
