One of the earliest public buildings in Tynong was the Mechanics’ Institute hall. According to The Argus, it was used as a Polling Place in February 1886 and it was probably built in the previous year. This first Tynong Mechanics’ Institute received government grants in 1887, 1888 and 1889. About 1928 a new hall (which still stands on the site) was built. The original hall was moved to a local orchard, probably in 1928, before being offered to Old Gippstown.
