Summary

Taken from an elevated position, this photograph shows Port Adelaide buildings on both sides of the unsealed road, where the railway tracks leading from Port Adelaide to the wharves are plainly visible. On the right a group of men lounge in front of the corner turret of the Customs House. On the left are shops and W.H. Harvey's Commercial Hotel. Further down the road is Crooks & Brooker, ironmongers and general furnishers. A dray carrying bales, some horse drawn carts and a man pushing a hand barrow are seen in the street which has a cobblestone crossing for pedestrians. [On back of photograph] 'Commercial Road, Port Adelaide, looking south from the river. / Nov. 1911.' [Duplicate of B 3536.]
