Southport Drill Hall, Military heritage site in Southport, Australia.
The Southport Drill Hall stands at 210 Queen Street with a curved iron roof, timber walls, and four interior rooms featuring original military architecture.
Built in 1890 according to George Connolly's design, this structure served as a training facility for Queensland's defense forces after separation from New South Wales.
The building transformed from a military establishment into a community center, hosting agricultural societies, scout groups, and the Southport Surf Lifesaving Club.
Visitors can explore the drill hall's military exhibits and architectural elements, including wrought iron trusses and wide windows with original timber shutters.
In 1995, the entire structure moved from Lawson Street to Owen Park, joining other relocated historic timber buildings in a dedicated heritage precinct.
