| Town or Locality: | Mallala |
The Council chambers (office) was opened in 1878 and was originally the headquarters of the District Council of Grace, which was amalgamated with the District Councils of Dublin and Port Gawler to form the District Council of Light (later Mallala), in 1935.
It comprised one room which doubled as the office and the Council meeting room. At some stage, a porch was added to the front of the building. In 1954?, the new offices were built in the Main Street (Wasleys Rd.),and for a period the old office was used as a storeroom and also as a small laboratory for the testing of the base material used in the construction of the Mallala-Two Wells Road.
With the purchase of a new and larger E.F.S.(C.F.S) firetruck, it was decided to convert the building to a Fire Station. The Station was officially opened by the then State Director of E.F.S, Mr. F. L. Kerr (in 1956?)in the presence of Council members, members of the Mallala C.W.A. (who had donated a piece of equipment to the Brigade) and the Brigade volunteers captained by Mr. C. W. Huxtable. The director also officially opened the Two Wells Station on the same day.
