Beehive Corner Building Heritage of the City of Adelaide BEEHIVE CORNER BUILDING 32-40 King William Street This building occupies one of the most prominent sites in the city. Although the building is the second to occupy the site its design expressed splendidly the importance of its location on the Beehive Corner. The 'Beehive' had its origins in the 1840s and by at least 1849 the corner was widely known as Beehive Corner. Corner names such as Fitch's Corner and Moss' Corner played a significant role in the image-making of a particular locality in nineteenth century Adelaide. The South Australian Register of 3 October 1849 advertised a new drapery establishment 'the Beehive', and the building appears in a water-colour by S.T. Gill of 1848-49 and W. Wadham, c.1860. The original Beehive housed many occupants, among them, Edmund Wright, architect, and the office of the newspaper the Adelaide Times. The building survived until the construction of the present Beehive Corner building in 1895-96. English & Soward were probably the architects for the present Beehive building. They also designed the Tavistock buildings for Henry Martin, who developed the new Beehive buildings. #B E AC 11# D :\P HMartin O TOwas an _Cabsentee D landlord \IM who, AG as far E as S can \IM G 0003 .P C D 7736 32813202 8991 85895 8991 85895 P B 4 0 14 23 231 361 0 be determined, never came to South Australia but instead left his affairs to be managed by capable agents in the colony. Although the block is now sadly altered the detailing of elevations is of a complexity rarely seen in Adelaide. It is derived from the Gothic Revival although much has been reinterpreted and used in a fresh manner. The level of detailing and the existence of the corner turret and beehive is unusual and distinctive. Architecturally it is an extremely vigorous statement. The integrity of the building has been compromised by ground floor redevelopment, the removal of gables on the western elevation, and the encasement of a facade to King William Street. Most of these unsympathetic changes were made during the 1960s when many historical features within the city were lost. The Beehive defines the (CD Ref 3202/3) entrance to Rundle Mall, complemented by the Corporation of the City of Adelaide Heritage of the City of Adelaide Waterhouse building opposite. # B EAC 1 1# D:\PH O TO _ C D \IM AG E S\IM G 0 02 8 .P C D 634 3 30 4 13 9 71 869 7 02 6 91 869 7 02 6 91 P B4 0 8 5 383 255 0 As such, the building has great streetscape significance to Rundle Mall and makes a notable if low scale architectural punctuation in King William Street.

  • Adelaide, South Australia... Now Is the Time! Now Is the Time!
    ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA... NOW IS THE TIME! NOW IS THE TIME! Adelaide, South Australia is positioning itself on a global scale for major conventions. The destination is currently undergoing an unprecedented level of infrastructure development and investment, which will further enhance the city’s already renowned ‘ease of use’ functionality and services to the Business Events sector. A vital component is the re-development of Adelaide’s ‘Riverbank Precinct’ - home to Adelaide Convention Centre, Adelaide Oval, Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide Casino, InterContinental Adelaide and surrounding plazas. This area is developing as a world-class convention and entertainment precinct creating a lively and connected promenade including a footbridge linking the Adelaide Oval and northern side of the River Torrens. Complementing these developments is a world leading Health and Medical Research Institute, and other key health and medical developments, cementing Adelaide’s reputation as a hub for related conventions. Adelaide Convention Bureau CEO Damien Kitto underlines the importance of this commitment; “As we all know, to be successful in the global convention market, a destination must have the right mix, standard and location of core convention infrastructure. By enhancing and growing the Riverbank precinct Adelaide is not only able to service major conventions of 3000+ delegates, but is also creating unique synergies with institutions that will drive and support convention content. Our city has great ambition and intention in this area.” MERCURE
