The Thirroul Railway Institute opened in December 1920, on the western side of Thirroul Station. The much-loved old building at 14 Railway Parade has been a hub for the community for almost a hundred years.
The Thirroul Railway Institute Hall was originally constructed by the NSW Railways for the education of employees and was also used for teaching a diverse range of skills in addition to social functions such as wedding receptions and political and union meetings.
