MacArthur Chambers, Heritage building in Brisbane, Australia.
MacArthur Chambers stands at the intersection of Queen and Edward Streets, featuring a classical facade with Helidon freestone and granite base materials.
The structure served as General Douglas MacArthur's South West Pacific Area headquarters for Allied forces from July 1942 until November 1944.
Three marble figures above the Queen Street entrance portray the themes of Strength, Plenty, Production, and Growth, carved by sculptor Fred Gowan.
The building contains the MacArthur Museum, which displays World War II artifacts, historical footage, and newspapers from the wartime period.
The construction utilized local steelwork and bolts instead of rivets, marking an advancement in structural engineering methods in 1930s Brisbane.
