Summary

Victoria Square, Adelaide, west side in 1910, showing the formal layout of the Square gardens. Geo.E. Morgan's Marble Works can be seen on the right. To the left of Morgan's is the Marine and Harbours building, the facade of which was jacked up and moved 34 metres north, to make way for the new SGIC Building in 1979. The original roof was also retained. The Supreme Court building is partially hidden by trees at the end of the Square. In the centre distance of the view is Moore's Department Store, soon to be replaced by the building which is now [since the 1980s] known as the Sir Samuel Way building which houses Adelaide's local District Courts. Extreme right is 52 yards south of Franklin Street.
