Central Buildings (incorporating the former White Horse Cellar Inn) |
| Registered Name |
Central Buildings |
| Significance |
The earliest section of what is now known as Central Buildings was built for George Coppin in 1850-51 as the White Horse Cellar Inn. It represents the very early period of development of Port Adelaide and is now the second-oldest building in the town, after the Port Admiral (originally Railway) Hotel of 1849. Its association with Coppin, one of nineteenth century Australia's most prominent actors and theatrical entrepreneurs, is especially significant. Coppin has been termed 'the Father of Australian Theatre' and had theatres in Melbourne and Adelaide as well as the Port. His Port Theatre opened in the Inn building in 1851 and is the third oldest theatre building in Australia, after the Theatre Royal in Hobart (1837) and the Queen's Theatre in Adelaide (1840). |

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.
