Shellharbour Council Library website says Shellharbour Scout Hall was built by Edwin Klein about 1951 on the corner of Shellharbour Rd and Addison St, Shellharbour. The Scout Hall was reputedly built from the materials used in the old boat store at the harbour, that was dismantled and rebuilt at this site. The side wings of Scout Hall were once part of old Peterborough Store, which stood on the north-west corner of Addison and Mary Sts. The wings were added in the 1960s when old store was demolished. The present kitchen was added to building in 1980s (with stove and fridge taken from Sid McDonalds own kitchen), the hall floor was replaced 1990 and a shipping container added in 1995.
