Starting out on the southwest corner of Rundle Street at East Terrace, the 1849 Stag Hotel (see stag in 2nd photo). Photos will head west on Rundle for a bit and then south on King William Street.


A few buildings on the north side of Rundle Street, all heritage-listed.


A few historic buildings on the south side.


Back to the north side.


On the south side starting at Frome Street. The 2nd photo is the 1880 Family Hotel at Bent Street, and the 3rd photo is an 1883 South Australian Company building. (They had many buildings, similar to Hudson's Bay Co. in Canada.)


This is Synagogue Place, so where's the synagogue? It was replaced by the Rundle Buildings, which then had Art Deco touches added in 1938 to completely obscure the buildings' heritage.


Beehive Corner, erected 1896 on the northeast corner of Rundle Street and King William Street.


Now onto King William Street, this is the 1934 Colonial Mutual Life Building.


The 1880 head office for the Bank of Adelaide is on the southwest corner at Currie Street. The 1866 Town Hall is on the southeast corner at Pirie Street.


Two buildings are visible in the 1st photo and I give plenty of time to both of them: the 1901 Citizens' Life Assurance Co. Ltd., and the 1872 General Post Office at Franklin Street.


Another twofer: the 1881 Torrens Building, then St. Francis Xavier's Catholic Cathedral, begun in 1858 with continued additions until 1996. Can you tell which parts are original? Hiding in the left corner of my last cathedral photo along Wakefield Street is one of the more modern additions, the 1940 Fennescey House.


This is the Sir Samuel Way Building, holding some court-related functions. While this seems appropriate for the building's appearance, it actually started life as Moore's Department Store in 1916. Charles Moore took inspiration from the Paris Exposition.


This is the King William Street face of the 1869 Supreme Court of South Australia. I'm not sure why it looks so different from the main building along Gouger Street, but you can see the side of that building in the last photo showcasing its Tea Tree Gully sandstone.


The last remnants of historic buildings leaving downtown Adelaide.
