Glenorie Memorial Hall Collection
Main information
Information
At the heart of Glenorie, just south of the school on Old Northern Road, is the Glenorie Memorial Hall.
It was built in 1932 and opened in 1933 to commemorate those of the district who served in World War I. It cost over £1000 and was paid for by the local residents.
In 1976 the Hall was transferred to Hornsby Council for management to ‘maintain and retain the hall in perpetuity’.
Hornsby Council has recently refurbished the Hall and added the Hall to its online booking service. The hall had previously displayed many framed images of local people, houses and landmarks. The Glenorie Memorial Hall Committee kindly provided Hornsby Library access to these historic images in order for them to be digitised, enabling the wider public to enjoy them as well.
