Old Spot Hotel |
| Registered Name |
Old Spot Hotel |
| Significance |
Though not original, the earliest part of the building dates from the nineteenth century and has direct links with the earliest inn built on this site. The hotel is located on one of Adelaide's major arterial roads. In the period of horse-drawn transport it marked an important wayside stop and staging point on the Main North Road to Gawler and the important copper towns of Kapunda and Burra further to the north.
The architectural design and detailing of the oldest section of the building are typical of those of the latter part of the nineteenth century. However, the changes reflect those required in the hospitality industry to ensure the hotels continued to fulfil an important role. Situated alongside the Little Para River, the hotel remains a prominent landmark.
The hotel is rare and particularly significant because it is one of very few remaining that has never been associated with a surrounding community, but has always depended on passing trade for its continued existence. (City of Salisbury Heritage Survey 1991). |

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
