About Second World War Hangar No. 7
In Eagle Farm, within the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, at 116 Lamington Avenue, stands Second World War Hangar No. 7, a heritage-listed building. The United States Army designed it, and Manuel Richard Hornibrook built it, with work running from 1942 to c. 1952. The Queensland Heritage Register took it in on February 7, 2005.
Its structure is an igloo of timber trusses, clad in ribbed sheets of metal, and it fronts Terminal Drive where the old Brisbane Airport once operated. It was constructed in 1942 for the Allied Technical Air Intelligence Unit, as part of a large aircraft assembly depot and aerodrome run under the US 5th Air Force.
No other timber truss igloo from World War II survives at Eagle Farm, so this is the last. Beside it lies the Women's Prison and Factory Site at Eagle Farm, whose remains are found under the runway 13/31 at its southeast end.
