Building Details - Architects of South Australia

Originally Henry Berry's warehouse, now Eynesbury College. FCA reconstruction undertaken in the late 1950s.
A multi-storey structure, the north-facing windows are shielded from the sun by a distinctive open metal grill which provided shade and ventilation (Page 1986). It had been a solid old warehouse. ‘What we did was to pour new concrete floors on top of the timber floors and then drop the old timber floors out afterwards. That had the advantage that we were able to work on six levels immediately so that the time of construction was a fraction of what it would take to demolish the building and start building up from the bottom again’ (Chappel 1992-3: 15).
