DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Former West's Coffee Palace
Registered Name West's Coffee Palace - Former
Significance Dating from 1903, West's Coffee Palace represents a major early work of the significant South Australian architect, Albert Selmar Conrad. It is an excellent example of the Edwardian Free Style of architecture which combines "Byzantine" elements with typical materials, red brick, cream painted render, and red terracotta roof tiles, creating a picturesque form and strong architectural statement in this section of the city. The Hindley Street facade is one of the best examples of the architecture of the Federation period in Adelaide and in South Australia. The building is intact above awning level. Originally known as 'The Austral Stores' it was a substantial commercial complex of 12 shops, large warehouse and residential accommodation built for butcher and small-goods manufacturer Leopold Conrad, the architect's father. From 1908, when the building underwent alterations to incorporate a large dining room, it was the premises of Grant's, and later West's Coffee Palaces. It is also significant as a relic of the phenomenon of Coffee Palaces, which provided unlicenced family-style meals and accommodation. (Adapted from Conservation Plan, McDougall & Vines 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 Council areas, 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 Planning and Design Code or their local council for Local Heritage Places.

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.
