"CLINTON", HOUSE AT NEW FARM
LATER MOVED TO
152 DEWAR TERRACE, CORINDA,
BRISBANE, QLD USED AS
BOQ QUARTERS FOR US NAVY OFFICERS
DURING WWII

"Clinton" a federation style Queenslander house was built at New Farm in about 1911. One of its former owners was Chief Justice Hugh Macrossan.

It was used during WWII as BOQ quarters for US Navy Officers who were probably based at the nearby New Farm Submarine Base. "Clinton House" is shown on page 71 of the February 1945 Military Telephone Directory for Brisbane as a BOQ for the US Naval Base, Navy 134 (Brisbane).

The house was relocated in the 1990's by Dr. Mark Matthews to its present location at 152 Dewar Terrace, Corinda, in the city of Brisbane, in the state of Queensland.
