Summary

The offices of Smith, Channon & Co. at Lipson Street, Port Adelaide, Customs, Shipping & Commission Agents, Bonded & Free Stores, which stood until 1963 opposite the Dock Railway Station. These premises were originally owned by Philip Santa Co., Merchants and shipping agents (James Smith, Manager), and acquired by Smith Channon & Co. about 1887. It was sold to J. Gadsden, bag merchant, and the company moved to one of Blacker's buildings in St. Vincent Street, formerly occupied by J. Rawlings & Son, and then by M. Donaghy & Son. In front of the building are Herbert Marshall, J.W. Channon, Frank Pickhaver, and John Turnbull. Vernon Smith was abroad at the time, and troops were passing through Port Adelaide to the Boer War. J.G. Brooks is on the firm's trolly, holding the horse 'Bully'. To see a selection of photographs in this collection, search on Archival number PRG 1642/26.
