Before the 'Literary Institute and Returned Soldiers and Sailors' Club' was built in 1924, there was a School of Arts here, but that was demolished in 1923 after it began to 'show its age'. WW1 Memorial

The Historical Marker is just to the right of the double-door entry to what is now the local health clinic. The oval, black-backed bronze marker reads:
