Walls are clad with medium brown wooden shakes and feature four rectangular ‘portrait’ windows in the upper story. The roof is dark grey asphalt shingles. At the downslope end a prominent set of steps leads to the upper story entrance.

Ladysmith’s Agricultural Hall, built in 1922 with a special ‘sprung floor’ for dancing, has been the venue for many dances, including those arranged by D.J. Red Robinson in the 1960s which featured, among others, such Rock and Roll greats as Buddy Knox, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bobby Curtola and local star Daryl Quist.
