Summary

North Terrace, looking east from a point a little west of Morphett Street. Trinity Church on the right. The original art work by S.T. Gill is in the S.A. Art Gallery. The foundation stone for Holy Trinity Church was laid by Governor Hindmarsh on 26 January 1838 but when the building was finished it was considered to be unsafe and the church was rebuilt and enlarged. The clock in the tower was installed in 1838 and was intended for use as the town clock. Holy Trinity Church was the first Anglican church in South Australia and the tower was the first to be built in Adelaide. The art work depicts families strolling on north Terrace making their way to church. A man is walking his dog. Only a few houses have been built up to this date.
