King Edward Park Air Raid Shelter, World War II air raid shelter in Brisbane, Australia
The rectangular concrete and sandstone structure features six stone piers beneath a flat roof, accessed by two flights of stairs from Turbot Street.
Built in 1942 during World War II, this shelter was part of Brisbane's extensive defense network that included 235 public air raid shelters across the city.
The shelter demonstrates how Brisbane's civilian population adapted to wartime conditions through the construction of protective infrastructure designed by architect F.G. Costello.
Located at 224 Turbot Street, the structure now serves as a public space where visitors can examine the architectural features of wartime defensive buildings.
This shelter represents one of only 21 remaining public air raid structures from World War II in Brisbane, featuring original sandstone construction with hammered finish details.
