Significance |
The Port Adelaide State Heritage Area contains the most substantial, contiguous grouping of nineteenth-century commercial and administrative buildings in South Australia, reflecting Port Adelaide's role as South Australia's major port, from 1840. Facilities for handling and administrating of cargo emerged in the vicinity of the early wharves and, by the mid-1880s, most of the present State Heritage Area was developed with shops, offices, warehouses, public buildings, hotels, housing and formed streets. Many of the buildings remain and reflect contemporary architectural tastes and local building practices of the period. The Port Adelaide State Heritage Area contains high integrity streetscapes of a scale, mass and spatial arrangement typical of nineteenth-century colonial commercial districts, rare in South Australia. |
