Cooking demonstration at Brisbane City Hall in 1939

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  In April 1939, just five months before the outbreak of war, the Brisbane City Council hosted a meeting at City Hall to organize a women’s volunteer organization to aid the coming war effort. Thereafter, City Hall often provided temporary office space for war organizations such as the Women’s Volunteer National Register until they found permanent accommodation. Pre-war services such as the children’s Immunisation Clinic were maintained. In 1940, City Hall was the headquarters for Brisbane’s civil defense, with Council staff mapping out suburban evacuation campsites and the location of water mains as part of Brisbane’s Air Raid Precautions (ARP) planning.

  Similar to other images in this set, it appears to be the August 21, 1917 arrival of Belgian Diplomat Baron X in New York City. The stairs to City Hall are depicted.
  
  NARA has similar images as part of records from the War Department (catalog.archives.gov/id/26431678 catalog.archives.gov/id/26431714)
