| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Former Hart's (later Adelaide Milling Co.) Flour Mill |
| Registered Name |
Former Mill |
| Significance |
The former Adelaide Milling Company mill site at Port Adelaide is the longest continuously serving flour milling enterprise in South Australia, operating from 1855 to 1980.
Hart's mill is the oldest building on the site having been completed in 1855 under the direction of John Hart, a significant colonial figure who was three times Premier. The building was the largest and most technologically advanced mill in South Australia and at the time was claimed to be the best in the southern hemisphere. It was designed to create an export market for the State's produce, and successfully shipped flour all over the world.
It is now severely compromised. Its engine house has been demolished and the internal floors and structure have been removed, leaving the building as a hollow shell. Its fabric is in a deteriorating condition, and its structural stability is questionable.
