Archerfield's heritage-listed operations building , designed before World War II but not completed until 1941. It followed the British practice of a combined terminal, control tower and offices. Airline services moved to Eagle Farm postwar and a new tower was built in 1974. The control tower cupola which topped the old building was subsequently removed. Similar buildings were erected at Sydney Mascot and Parafield in Adelaide. Both still exist although Sydney's, now part of the Qantas terminal, is hidden behind later developments.
