Rest assured, no scone will be left unturned in search for relatives of City Hall faces from the past The Brisbane City Council and Red Cross want assistance identifying people in this picture taken at the City Hall rest rooms in the late 1960s. They hope to invite families on a tour of the newly restored City Hall. THE hands of the clock sit frozen in time. An unidentified woman clasps her bag as she waits at the counter. Another woman fusses over a young child at a table. It was the late 1960s - a time when almost no trip home from City Hall was complete without a cuppa at the City Hall "Rest Rooms." Now, more than 45 years after this moment was captured - and on the eve of the opening of the new cafaacé in the basement - the Brisbane City Council and Red Cross are on a quest to identify the people in the photograph. A souvenir booklet from the official opening of City Hall in 1930 said the original room was intended to "fill a long-felt want and be a great boon to mothers from outlying districts, having business in the city." Rebecca Buonsanto, marketing and communications manager for Red Cross College, said the black and white photograph, which was retrieved from the City Hall archives, captured a candid moment in the landmark's heritage. "It was a hugely popular social space and, from all accounts, it was quite well remembered," she said. Mothers and children would stop by for a cup of coffee before they caught public transport home. Ms Buonsanto said they want to put a name to the individuals in the photo so they can invite the families back to the place where they met all those years ago, with a tour of the newly restored City Hall. The Red Cross cafe was closed for three years because of structural repairs and will be re-dedicated as the Commix Espresso @ the Rest Room on Saturday. Anyone with information about the people in the photograph should contact Red Cross College via testimonials@redcross.org.au
