Laying foundation stone for the Exhibition Building

Laying foundation stone for the Exhibition Building

Crowd assembled for the laying of the foundation stone for the Jubilee Exhibition Building 21 June 1886. Official guests are on a raised platform above which flags are flying. A researcher has suggested that this photograph may have been taken after 1901 because of the flags which appear to be the official national flag of Australia, which was designed and came into use after Federation in 1901. However, this flag design may have been a precursor to the national flag as the Southern Cross constellation has been used to represent Australia since the early days of British settlement, and each of the stars has five points, unlike the national flag design, in which the stars in the Southern Cross constellation had between five and nine points, while the Commonwealth or Federation Star originally had six points.

[General description] The Jubilee Exhibition Building on North Terrace, designed by architects Latham Withall and Alfred Wells and opened in 1887, the year of Queen Victoria's jubilee. When the Royal Show moved to Wayville in 1925 the once busy building became neglected and it was eventually demolished to make way for Adelaide University's Napier building in 1962. It was used by several organisations over the years. At the time this photograph was taken the School of Design and Painting and the Chamber of Manufactures are in residence.
