Adelaide From River Torrens
View of Adelaide from the River Torrens. Original held by the Art Gallery of South Australia. Notes on the back of the photograph of the sketch read "Adelaide from the northern bank of the River Torrens. Probably 1843 to 1849. Reproduced from a water colour by Robert Davenport in the Art Gallery. The bridge on the left was situated about 200 yards east of the present Morphett Street bridge. Very close to it was the ford, where the bullock drays crossed at such times as the bridge was out of repair and where the carters used to fill their barrels for domestic consumption. The flag staff on the left stood at the entrance to Government House grounds, which in the forties bulged across what is now King William Road. It stood on what would now (1936) be the middle of King William Road. The slate roofed, one storey building three inches from the left of picture is the first Legislative Council Chamber (built in 1843). It stood on the north side of North Terrace, close to what would now (1936) be the entrance to the Railway Station. The rather imposing building one inch to the right of the Council Chamber is the Bank of South Australia. Towards the left of the picture can be seen the quarry from which limestone was blasted for the public buildings. The picture shows the two roads which approached the bridge and ford from South Adelaide: one from Morphett Street and the other from King William Street.
