The building serves to recall womens involvement in WWII and later their contribution to community development in an isolated reigon. In latter years, the building has served the tourist industry as a youth hostel. The building is one of the very few extant buildings from the significant WWII period and possesses some distinctive design elements for a building in Alice Springs.
