Summary

[General description] Photograph of a sketch of the Adelaide Town Hall, King William Street, which is attached to an invitation to the Town Hall Opening Banquet in 1866. (See B 5549/2) The image shows a clock face in the clocktower. On the border of the photograph there is a pencilled inscription dated 2nd May, 1934, by the Chief Librarian, Mr. G. H. Pitt stating that 'Photo from a sketch, there was never a clock in this tower'. This was true at the time. It was not until 1935 that Alderman Lavington Bonython donated the present town hall clock.
