DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Office (former SA Brewing Company Offices)
Registered Name Brewery - S.A. Brewing Co.
Significance The building is of historical significance because of its association with the South Australian Brewing Company, for which it was built in 1940-41 as the administrative headquarters. They were sited near the now demolished West End brewery, which moved to Southwark in 1980. The building is architecturally significant as a design of prominent Adelaide architect F Kenneth Milne. The building is an unusual rendering of the Georgian idiom with strictly disciplined fenestration and crisply detailed dressings in what appears to be artificial stone. Surrounds to openings and upper string course are loosely derived from Classical detail and reflect the desire of architects during this period to interpret rather than copy stylistic detailing. In many ways, this building anticipates Milne's later HC Sleigh building. The interior of the Brewery offices are of particular note for their originality and detailing, including panelling and metal work. The integrity of the building is high, both internally and externally. The complex was extended in 1956 to the design of SH Gilbert. (City of Adelaide Heritage Survey 1986 - report dated 1982) Milne designed several substantial buildings in the Neo-Georgian style in and around the city, including 'Sunnyside', 227-231 Stanley Street, North Adelaide (registered place 13554).

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.
