Historical information

The Katanning Club was officially opened on the 15th October 1915, according to an article from the Great Southern Herald dated Sat 17th October 1915, pg 1. It is located on Amherst Street Katanning.

Katanning Club has played an important part in the social life of Katanning. It was built as a meeting place for gentlemen and it allowed for farming or out of town people to have a place to socialize. Many distinguished people have been members. Ladies were admitted to club membership in 1985 when the club amalgamated with the Ladies Marloo Club.
The building is heritage listed.
