Summary

[General description] Two men pose in front of the Bank of South Australia building, one of them leaning on a hitching post at the kerb. This building, commissioned by the Bank of South Australia in 1875, was designed by Edmund W. Wright in the French Renaissance style and completed by 1878. In 1972 there was a public campaign to save it from demolition and the State Government bought the building. After extensive renovations it was re-named Edmund Wright House. [On back of photograph] 'King William Street, west side / Acres 78, 109 / Probably in the eighteen eighties'.
