Southport Drill Hall, Military heritage site in Southport, Australia.

Southport Drill Hall is a historic military training building located at Queen Street with a distinctive curved iron roof and timber walls. Inside, four rooms preserve original military architecture including wrought iron trusses and wide windows fitted with period timber shutters.

The building was designed by George Connolly and constructed in 1890 to serve as a training facility for Queensland's defense forces. This came after the colony's separation from New South Wales, when local military infrastructure became necessary.

The hall's name comes from its original role as a drill shed for volunteer rifle and cadet corps. In 1910 the Southport Agricultural and Horticultural Society was allowed to use it during Carnival Week, the first of its non-military uses. The timberwork was painted white when finished in 1890.

The hall stands at 210 Queen Street, Southport, on Queensland's Gold Coast, and is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. It was moved from its original Lawson Street site, so the address to look for is the Queen Street one. The timber building is a former training hall rather than a staffed museum, so check access before travelling.

The building was moved from its original Lawson Street site, though the sources give no date for the move. Its 1890 timberwork was painted white when finished, and repairs and restoration were carried out in 1899 before it reverted to Australian Government ownership after Federation.
