Help needed to identify the place.

Thanks for the closeup Max.

I agree with Claire about the building looking art deco.

There appears to be lots of marble (or marble effect). 

Where was Evelyn before she came to Australia?

Lots of Marble,but it's in Brussels.

Hi Hepburn & Ruskie Humm BRUSSELS.. Well i would have never guessed that's where the place was.. Evelyn was based in the UK but because she was in Military Service she was all over the world Italy France Australia etc.. I have plenty more photos.

I'm not convinced that it's the Montgomery Club in Brussels. The uniforms look quite different, the ceiling height and architectural style are not the same.

Hi ShaunJ

I think you might be right i have just been looking at the same pages you posted the links to.. The Blog page showed the uniforms and the only ones that looked the same were the dark colour ones at the front on my photo. 

I still have the Roosevelt Club in the back of my mind but cant find any photo's relating to my photo.

There was a Churchill-Roosevelt Club run by the NAAFI/EFI in Venice. Looks like a good candidate:

Trying to find a good interior view of the one in Venice (aka the Venice Lido Casino). This is the same room, I think:  http://actv.avmspa.it/sites/default/files/styles/news_teaser/public/Foto%20stand%20Palazzo%20del%20Casino.JPG?itok=M3eTZQxS

Some clever detective work going on here! The different coloured pillars, being green and travertine in this pic, would go with the different greyscales in the original.

Well done ShaunJ - architecturally the style of this building looks and suits the interior of the OPs photo
