Annerley Army Reserve Depot, Heritage-listed army drill hall complex in Annerley, Brisbane, Australia

Annerley Army Reserve Depot is a barracks complex at 158 Dudley Street, Annerley, in the City of Brisbane. Its first drill hall, the Junction Park Drill Hall, was built in 1914 to a design from the Office of Public Works signed by Alfred Barton Brady, at a cost of £1625, on the south-eastern corner of the site facing Dudley Street. A second drill hall followed in 1954, both to designs by the Office of Queensland Government Architect. The halls are timber-framed and clad in corrugated iron, with gabled roofs rather than the curved iron roofs of earlier Queensland drill halls.

The Junction Park Drill Hall opened in 1914 to support increased militia training during World War I. The facility was expanded over the following decades and later accommodated allied forces during World War II.

The site's first hall was named Junction Park Drill Hall after the local tram terminus area, and the depot later took the Annerley name. The 1914 hall held a covered meeting hall for night drilling plus offices for each company assigned there, among them the 2nd Light Horse Machine Gun Section and two companies of the Ninth Infantry.

The depot is an active military site at 158 Dudley Street, Annerley, so access is not open to the public and viewing is from the street. The 1914 Junction Park Drill Hall stands in the south-eastern corner of the site facing Dudley Street, the entrance side to look for. The land was chosen in 1913 for its elevated position near the Ipswich Road tram terminus.

The site's first hall, the Junction Park Drill Hall, was designed by the Office of Public Works under a plan signed by Alfred Barton Brady, with tenders called on 24 February 1914 and construction costing £1625. The land itself came from William Stephens, son of Thomas Blacket Stephens, who offered 2.7 acres of his own Dudley Street property after the Stephens Shire Council twice refused the Commandant's request; the Commonwealth settled on £519.
