| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Former Faulding's Eucalyptus Oil Distillery |
| Registered Name |
Eucalyptus Store - Fauldings |
| Significance |
This building was used for many years as the eucalyptus oil distillery for the pharmaceutical company of FH Faulding & Co. (now known as Fauldings), who pioneered several new technologies in the development and manufacture of drugs and other pharmaceutical products. The production of eucalyptus oil was at one stage a large part of Faulding's manufacturing process, forming the raw material for many of its products. The distilling of eucalyptus on a large scale was not common in South Australia.
It is possible that part of the building was originally associated with Bean's tannery, one of the several such enterprises located on the banks of the River Torrens in the earlier years of settlement of the area. The building thus represents two industries important to both Thebarton and the State. Several alterations and additions have reduced the building's integrity. The random coursed stonework of the building is not of great merit. (Thebarton Heritage Survey 1991) |
