Adelaide Arcade was opened in 1885 and was hailed as the most modern shopping precinct in the Southern Hemisphere. With its prominent position between Grenfell Street and Rundle Street (subsequently Rundle Mall), it has continued to be a popular shopping hub to this day.
In 1885, a syndicate was formed and the contract let for the construction of a handsome arcade which would then be the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, on a site extending from Rundle Street to Grenfell Street.
Adelaide and Gay’s Arcades are fine examples of the 1880’s boom period. They are testimony to the period during which Rundle Street was transformed into a retail precinct of great renown.
Despite modifications, changes and even a fire, both Adelaide and Gay’s Arcades remain true to their original ambience and style as nineteenth-century shopping developments.
