DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) South Australian Maritime Museum (former Elder's Bond & Free Stores)
Registered Name Former Elder's Bond and Free Stores
Significance Built in two stages in 1856-1857 and 1863, the former Elder's Bond and Free Stores demonstrate the growth and consolidation of Port Adelaide as South Australia's major port and the resulting demand for bonded and free warehousing for dutiable and non-dutiable goods. The former Elder's Bond and Free Stores complex was one of the earliest such complexes built in South Australia by private enterprise and is also believed to be the oldest surviving in South Australia. The former Elder's Bond and Free Stores is also associated with the early history of Elder & Co, prior to the company's diversification into other business ventures. In particular, the 1856-1857 store is the only known remaining place directly demonstrating the early history of Elder & Co and the company's core business at that time as trade and commission agents based in Port Adelaide.

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.
