Woody Point Memorial Hall, War memorial hall in Woody Point, Queensland, Australia
Woody Point Memorial Hall is a timber building located at the intersection of Hornibrook Esplanade and Oxley Avenue with a T-shaped floor plan. It features decorative window hoods, board-and-batten cladding, and contains kitchen facilities, tables, and chairs for gatherings.
The building opened in March 1922 and displays an honor board listing 94 local servicemen who enlisted during World War I. It emerged from both the mechanics institute movement and the post-war memorial movement that swept through Queensland communities.
This place served the community as a school of arts where adults could learn and access library services. It functioned as a social hub where locals gathered for events and meetings throughout the year.
The hall is accessible via ramps and has dedicated parking spaces for visitors. It can be arranged with tables and chairs for different types of gatherings and events.
The building unusually combined educational functions with war commemoration in a single timber structure. This dual purpose shows how communities adapted their spaces after the war to serve both remembrance and learning.
