Description
Haddo House Hall is a tall, single-storey community hall built in 1891 by D Macandrew & Company, with an eastern wing added in the 1980s. This rectangular-plan building features a piended design influenced by Canadian architecture and is located between Haddo House and the stable block. It has horizontal timber boarding, a steeply-pitched swept piend roof, an elegant polygonal ridge ventilator, and a small spire, all resting on a concrete base course.
The northeast elevation faces Haddo House and includes a central gabled porch with a swept roof, flanked by lower tiled lean-to bays. The right bay forms a canopy over a short arcade, while the left is enclosed. The long northwest elevation has steps leading up to the central door, with single windows in the outer bays and a full-width ribbon window at the eaves. There is also a low gabled porch on the southwest.
The glazing features a distinctive pattern of three horizontally-aligned panes over two large vertical panes in timber frames, except for the southwest extensions. The roof is covered with grey slates and includes ridge ventilators.
Inside, the hall has a timber-lined interior with an open timbered roof of scissor-truss type, featuring suspended beams radiating from a central point, decorative ventilators, and a part dado rail. There is a stage at the northeast over a semi-basement, with a fixed timber-balustered stair at the rear providing access to basement rooms, including a dressing room with a stone fireplace.
