Information
The USN acquired vacant riverside land from the Brisbane City Council, taking possession on 4 November 1943. The Mess was staffed by three US Navy personnel and 17 civilians. Facilities included two 35mm film projectors and a projection booth. The site was tastefully landscaped and quickly became a wartime Brisbane showplace. The US Navy ceased activities at the property on 23 June 1945.
