Description

DescriptionThis temporary structure was erected, facing Limestone Street in the gardens next to the Ipswich Soldiers’ Memorial Hall. It was established with funds raised in 1941 to provide a place for Australian and American servicemen to rest, talk, and play the piano in a relaxed environment, other than hotels and cafes. The Hut was demolished on 10 July 1946.References (offline)Ipswich in the Twentieth century by Robyn Buchanan, 2004Queensland Times 11 July 1946
