Pine Rivers Shire Hall is a heritage-listed town hall at 238 Gympie Road, Strathpine, Moreton Bay Region, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1889 to 1935. It is also known as Pine Divisional Board Hall, Pine Rivers Shire Hall, and Pine Shire Hall. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. == History == The rectangular first stage of this single-storeyed timber shire hall was built in 1889 and there have been three main extensions.〔 The Pine Rivers area was opened up for selection during the 1860s. Settlers moved in, villages began to develop and the railway reached Strathpine in 1887. The Pine Rivers area was part of the Caboolture Divisional Board until 1888 when the Pine Divisional Board was gazetted.〔 Early in 1889 the board called for tenders for a building 45 by 25 feet (13 by 7.5 metres) and L Macklewright's tender for £229/18/6 was accepted.〔 The hall was used for division business and as a venue for social activities and by church groups. The first extension was the front extension, probably during the early 1890s.〔 As a result of the Local Government Act of 1902 the Board changed their name to the Pine Shire Council. In 1905 a skillion roofed office at the rear of the hall was constructed. The Strathpine Patriotic League, in 1921, commissioned an honour board to be hung in the hall. In 1924 the end wall was lined to better display the war memorial and photographs.〔 During 1932 there were two additions made to the hall along the southern elevation; an office 20 by 25 feet (6.096 by 7.62 metres) and a glassed in side verandah about 36 by 14 feet (10.97 by 4.27 metres). The strong room was added to the 1932 additions about 1935.〔 During the Second World War the hall was used by the US Army as a recreational hall. Afterwards the hall continued to be well patronised as a social and recreational venue. In the early 1950s the hall was leased to A Charles Spencer as a picture theatre.〔 In 1959 the Pine Shire became the Pine Rivers Shire Council and in 1960 they moved into the new brick Shire Office built beside the Shire Hall.〔 During the 1960s the hall and side verandah were used for the councils building and engineering sections. A door was cut into the northern elevation to provide access to the engineers section. The front office was rented as a real estate office, and office space was provided for a visiting bank officer and doctor.〔 The office in 1970s was the site of the first shire library. By 1978-79 the site was vacated by council officers and it was in a very dilapidated condition. It was refurbished during the 1980s and was leased in July 1985 to a theatre group.〔 With the growth of the shire extra accommodation was required. A new Civic Centre was opened in 1974 and an Administration building in 1978. In 1986 the councils expanded office staff, required the re-use of the 1959 shire offices, and the building is now the health offices.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pine Rivers Shire Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
