Position on map:

The Southport Drill Hall, constructed in 1890, is historically significant as an intact example of a nineteenth century drill hall built and furnished to a State Department of Works standard design. Although relocated, it is a rare surviving example of a late nineteenth century drill hall which has retained its original form. The building demonstrates the strategic military importance of coastal areas, like Southport, in the late nineteenth century and has a special association with the Volunteer Defence Force.
