The building was converted to a library in 1931 after staring out in 1925 as the offices of the Tamaki West Road Board, and the local volunteer fire station. The War Memorial Hall was opened in 1955 by the then Governor General Sir Willoughby Norrie.Down the road a little further are the three controversial art deco Spanish-style houses built in 1935… The Guyon Brookfield Memorial in the form of a stone drinking fountain is in the memory of an outstanding local scout leader who list his life in world war One. A 1500 foot long wharf wa partly demolished in 1926 when it became unsafe - the stumps can often be seen at low tide. A famous landmark in the Bat is the old St. Heliers Bay Hotel.
