the Old Marine and Harbours building before it was moved

Built in 1884, this Italianate facade was moved 40 metres north in 1979 to accommodate the new SGIC tower.

Thanks to History SA for assisting with this sample from the SA Government Photographic Collection.
Keith Conlon showed them on an iPad "travelling slideshow" during a 175th Anniversary SA History Festival walking tour for 1395FIVEaa listeners in May, 2011.
