Information

The Returned Services Association have been active in Browns Bay from 1925 when meetings were held in the 555 Theatre. It was not until 1951 that the first RSA hall was erected in Browns Bay following substantial fundraising efforts. The design of the original hall featured high windows to make the hall private enough for the Freemasons who rented the building for their secretive meetings. It was also the venue of the swearing in ceremony for the first East Coast Bays Borough Council in 1954. The present building was erected in the mid-1990s. It is now home to the Bays Health Medical Centre.

Continue along Bute Road to return to the East Coast Bays Library and the start of this tour.
