Stud Sheep Pavilion, Adelaide Showground |
| Registered Name |
Stud Sheep Pavilion, Adelaide Showground |
| Significance |
The Stud Sheep Pavilion is associated with the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia (Society) and illustrates their ambition to support farmers and improve the quality of agricultural and horticultural production in South Australia by 'staging events' and 'rewarding excellence'. The Stud Sheep Pavilion, completed in 1917, was the second building constructed by the Society at Wayville after their relocation from the Jubilee Exhibition site on North Terrace.
The Society specifically built the Stud Sheep Pavilion as an exhibition venue for the display and judging of prime livestock - sheep - during the Adelaide Show, with the aim of improving the quality of both meat and wool for local consumption and export markets. The pavilion provides an exceptional opportunity for people living in the city to interact with sheep graziers and view animals and fleeces, and develop an understanding of the vital role that the wool and meat industry plays in South Australia. The building has faithfully fulfilled that function since 1925, apart from during World War Two when the building was requisitioned for war use.
The Stud Sheep Pavilion is an exceptional example of a Showground pavilion. Its built fabric, including external facades, internal framing and the pens and races that were reinstalled in the building during the late-1940s and 1950s, retain a high level of integrity that enables the purpose of the building to be readily and easily understood. |
