S UH V E Y , I ) <l I MALCOLM REID EMPORIUM 187-193 Rundle Street Historically, this building is significant because of its association with the firm of Malcolm Reid and Co, long established merchants of Adelaide. This building underscored the success and expansion of the firm. Malcolm Reid and Co had branches also at Port Adelaide and Broken Hill - thereby exemplifying the economic dominance of Adelaide in the South Australiai:i economy. Other branches were established at Johannesburg and London. The plans for this building for the South Australian Company were approved, 1st March, 1909. Architecturally this range of buildings is strongly related to the adjoining Austral Hotel which is similarly detailed. Tite complete range of buildings occupying a large percentage of two town acres is typical of a substantial '1boom period" terrace with stuccoed Italianate detail to strings, cornices and surrounds to openings. Environmentally this building is significant because it is a strong element in Rundle Street and because it complements the building immed­ iately to the east. The integrity of the building is high.
