Comments

It featured ‘extensive use of glass to give maximum light’ both front and back and in a central court because of the building’s narrow frontage. Contemporary reports claimed it to be ‘Adelaide’s first steel-framed office buildings since the war’ (‘Glass for new city building’, Advertiser, 22 Jun 1954: 1).

Architect NameKeal, Ernest Alfred
