[1] This one storey masonry building was constructed in 1937 by the Landsborough Shire Council to provide public bathing and kiosk facilities for those using Kings Beach.
During the 1920s when public bathing in sea water became widely accepted, various councils became competitive in their quest for holiday makers.
Bulcock and his family retained this land for many years prohibiting further development of part of Caloundra, including what was to become Kings Beach.
The guesthouse was extended in 1930 after the second subdivision of Bulcock's land allowed further settlement and the opening of shops and kiosks further increased holiday trade.
The Metropolitan Surf Life Saving Club started patrolling the beach in 1933, after moving from Bribie Island.
By 1937 a large development scheme was undertaken which involved the expenditure of £12,290, for dressing sheds and kiosk, extensive car-parking facilities and landscaping of the Kings Beach area.
The Redcliffe City Council employed a similar scheme to attract visitors in 1937 which involved the construction of five pavilions designed by Clifford E. Plant.
It was designed to be an L-shaped building but this initial scheme was not realised due to financial constraints and the pavilion was built with the toilet wings lying adjacent to one another extending north from the principal core.
During the 1940s the tenants struggled to meet the lease payments required by the council, due to constraints on quantity and type of merchandise able to be sold in the kiosk.
[1] The pavilion is a one storey brick and concrete building, roofed with large gauge corrugated fibrous cement tiles and surrounded on two sides by retaining walls.
[1] The asymmetrically arranged east facade features a decorative parapeted gable with loggia of round head arches with edge detailing supported on glazed brick columns which sit on a concrete slab.
The side wing is a simple structure with external parapet walls which step up the ends of the east and west faces.
These walls are decorated with a high level band of smooth render, upon which are inscribed hexagonal shapes at regular intervals.
The southern facade features a projecting decorative parapeted gable, similarly detailed to that found on the eastern face.
The toilet, shower and changing cubicles sit on a concrete plinth on either side of a central walkway which is open air.
