Summary

Rundle Street, Adelaide, at the south west corner of Gawler Place. Three men and a dog stand outside the premises of Holden & Birks, saddlers. The firm has just been established, but in 1875 this partnership will be dissolved to become J.A. Holden & Co., which is the forerunner to the manufacturer of Australia's famous Holden motor cars. The parapet of this building features ornate mouldings. Note the drinking fountain on the corner. See B 2244 and B 3310 for changes in later years.
