Comments

Wright won the competition for the design of the former Bank of Adelaide Head Office at the corner of King William Street and Currie Street in 1878 (Marsden et al 1990: 101). The south-west corner was erected to the design of Wright and Reed and completed in 1880. While the western section, with an entrance to Currie Street was designed by architects McMichael and Harris, and added in 1940 (Morgan & Gilbert 1969).
