Hall, still in use, built in 1891 by D Macandrew and Company with the east wing added in the 1980s. When the hall was built the remains of walls belonging to an earlier house were found (NJ83SE0020). It is an unusual, well detailed, tall single storey with part basement, rectangular-plan and piended community hall with projecting porches, of Canadian-influence design, sited to the south-east of Haddo House (NJ83SE0042). The hall is constructed using horizontal timber boarding with steeply-pitched swept piend roof and an elegant polygonal ridge ventilator and small spire, and has a concrete base course/plinth. A distinctive glazing pattern of three horizontally-aligned panes over two large vertical panes in timber frames is used, except to the south-west extensions. There are grey slates to the roof and ridge ventilators. The north-east elevation facing Haddo House has a swept-roofed gabled porch at the centre flanked by lower tiled lean-to bays and that to right forming a canopy over a short arcade and that to the left enclosed. The long north-west elevation has steps up to a centre door with single windows to the outer bays and a full-width ribbon window abutting eaves. There is a further low gabled porch to the south-west. The timber-lined interior has an open timbered roof of scissor-truss type with suspended beams radiating from a central point, decorative ventilators and a part dado rail. The stage is at the north-east over a semi-basement. A fixed timber-balustered stair at the rear gives access to basement rooms, including a dressing room with a stone fireplace.
