    HERITAGE ASSESSMENT REPORT NAME: Old Ram Shed, Adelaide Showground PLACE: 26488 ADDRESS: 68 Goodwood Road, Wayville, 5034 DESCRIPTION Figure 1. Old Ram Shed showing the western façade Source: Heritage South Australia, 2015 The Old Ram Shed is a brick structure with a timber-frame, corrugated-galvanised-iron clad, sawtooth roof supported with steel I-beam posts. The roof has both south facing lights as well as glass skylights set in the sloping part of the roof. The prominent eastern and western façades are of the stripped classical style and feature Art Deco decoration that is characteristic of the period. The eastern and western facades have substantial ornamental red-brick piers at each corner, are symmetrically divided by red-brick pilasters, and have a parapet wall that extends above piers and pilasters. The piers, pilasters and parapet wall are capped with cement. Brick dentils feature immediately under the cement capping of the parapet wall, and the name Elder Smith & Co Limited is still faintly visible on the parapet, despite having been removed and partially covered. A decorative cornice is aligned with the top of the pilasters Heritage South Australia, DEW 1 Old Ram Shed, Adelaide Showground (26488) and features a single line of chevrons created from the brickwork, with a row of dentils beneath. An octagonal cement feature is also inserted into the top of each pier (figure 1). The surrounds of the large door openings in the western and eastern façades are comprised of a large painted and cement-rendered architrave and painted and cement-rendered curved pilasters. Above the door is partially covered lettering that reads “Sheep Sales”.
