President's Message

Posted by Don Tindale on Oct 27, 2016

President’s Pen 25^th October 2016

Instead of an official Club meeting, members and some friends, visited the old Treasury building in King William Street, for a tour of the building and some of the tunnels under the building.

We were taken on a guided tour by one of the regular volunteers who provided a history of the building, which “was built in stages from 1839 to 1907. The buildings we see today took nearly twenty years to reach completion, though their unity of conception suggests that they were designed as a whole by E. A. Hamilton who was Colonial Architect at the time when it was begun and who supervised the erection of the three earliest sections. The northern two-storied section of the Treasury Building in King William Street was built in 1858, followed by the corner two-storied section in 1859, and the central three-storied King William Street section in 1860. In 1867 the two-storied eastern Victoria Square section was completed. Finally in 1876 the three-storied Victoria Square block completed the structure. In order to make that possible a one-storied office building erected about 1842 to the design of Sir George Kingston, architect, was demolished. No doubt the design of that now forgotten Kingston building to some extent affected the general design, although this stuccoed pile with its urn-capped parapets is reminiscent of Nash’s terraces in Regent’s Park, London”.

The Treasury stood at the centre of South Australia’s administrative and governmental affairs for more 130 years. It housed the Cabinet Room from 1876 until 1968. The building has a strong association with exploration and surveying the sale and management of land the development of the State’s agricultural and pastoral industries and executive government. The building has now been restored and redeveloped as Medina Grand Hotel. The National Trust runs tours of the old Cabinet Room and tunnels under the building used for the secure transport of gold. (extracts from the adelaideheritage.net.au website).

The building housed the offices of the early State Premiers, including Sir Thomas Playford.

After the tour, members and friends stayed to have a lovely lunch in the courtyard of the Adina Hotel
