Summary

View of Adelaide looking east down Flinders Street to the Parklands and eastern suburbs, taken by Townsend Duryea from the tower of the Adelaide General Post Office in 1870. The rear section of the Treasury Building, under construction, is in the foreground, with Stow Memorial Church (now Pilgrim Uniting Church) adjacent. Scots Presbyterian Church with its distinctive tower, (demolished after 1955), faces the Flinders Street Baptist Church across the road, with St Paul's Anglican Church, its tower unfinished, further down the street. In the background at left can be seen Prince Alfred College (at Kent Town) and the Hindmarsh Square Congregational Church (with its domed octagonal towers). The Earl of Zetland hotel can be seen on Flinders Street. To see a summary of this panorama group do a number search on B 16004.
