Summary

Rotunda at Elder Park looking west. The Torrens is in the background, along with Long's Boat Sheds on the oppisite bank. The railway bridge across the Torrens can be seen in the distance. Railway yards can be seen behind the Rotunda. The Rotunda was donated by Sir Thomas Elder and was built in Glasgow and shipped in 1882. It was officially opened on November 28, 1882 which was more than a year since the weir and lake were finished. Another photograph on the reverse side shows the Rotunda in the distance. The photograph has been taken from the city end of King William Road looking north towards North Adelaide.
