Cinema Scope Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

inspicio: As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Mt Druitt Hall, built 1925, is located at 85-87 Old Mount Druitt Road and is an ornate single storey structure with neo-classical motifs. Decorative features include corinthian pilasters, a balustrade parapet and pediment over the windows and ceremonial doors to the street frontage.

In 1925 the area was a farming community, quite different to the suburban area it is today. Adjacent to the hall is the site of Major George Druitt's homestead. (No longer exists)

The hall was built by local community money - raised by donations, charity events etc.
After WW2 the hall was used as a cinema.
Taken over by the Blacktown City Council in 1967 the hall was restored back to it's original state and in 1986 the hall was renovated again.
