Enzo's Ristorante (Former Commercial Hotel) |
| Registered Name |
Commercial Hotel |
| Significance |
First licensed in 1848, the Commercial Hotel is significant for its association with the history of Hindmarsh, the first of Adelaide's 'suburbs'. The Hotel has added interest, in that the single-storey building adjoining the two-storey 1880s building may have been the residential section of the original hotel, as described in the 1855 Council ratebook. The survival of an original colonial hotel alongside a subsequent one is quite rare.
The Hindmarsh / Bowden / Brompton area and Port Adelaide were Adelaide's earliest significant industrial areas and both are notable for their concentrations of hotels, reflecting the working class origins of the districts. They were connected by the Port Road, the Colony's first major transport route, and the traffic along it led to the retail and commercial centre for Hindmarsh developing along the western carriageway.
Following the building of the Entertainment Centre and the associated demolition of many structures along the retailing strip, the Hotel now also serves as a reminder of the former extent of Hindmarsh's commercial centre. (HB 2/06)
