Last time just before Christmas when we were last in Kawakawa I spotted this tiny building because it kind of reminded me of an old small town jail. But apparently it was built in 1921 by the people of Kawakawa in recognition of the lives lost in WW1. It became a museum santioned by the RSA on Anzac Day 1988 following an exhibition of military photos and exhibits.

Nice building, nice to see it surviving
It looks so good with the new paint.
What an incredibly useful war memorial (as a library I mean). There must have been some truly enlightened people mourning in Kawakawa after the Great War.
Love the windows :)
Hi Amy, this little library/museum hasn't changed much over the years. Hope yourself and family are well and all the best for a much better 2021 💛
I don't remember that building. On my last trip North we rode the railway - very enjoyable. I remember the magnificent loos because when I was trying to use them on the first occasion I was there people kept coming in and taking photos.
I like it's new color! It makes it look bigger I think.
I only found it by looking down a side road off the main road but as for people taking photos of the loos, I don't quite understand that lol
My first thought was it looked like a jail. :)
That’s a very protective door! No wonder you thought it was a jail. But how much nicer to honor heros.
