Summary

Monochrome tinted lithograph depicting the original Southern Cross Hotel that was on Currie Street in Adelaide. The building design consists of a small half-octagonal domed section adjoining at the back of the building by a long rectangular section. The building rests in what seems to be the middle of a fenced field. A large cross sits atop the peak of the dome. Included in the scene are three sheep in a paddock. The hotel was 30 meters east of Rosina Street and operated from late 1837 until May 1843. Frederick William Allen was the licensee.
