Heritage Buildings

Behind every façade lies a chapter in the story of one of Adelaide’s oldest and most enduring precincts.

The heritage buildings of Rundle Street East tell the story of a precinct defined by enterprise and change. Emerging from Adelaide’s earliest trading activity, the area developed through markets, hotels, commercial buildings and small businesses that supported a growing city. Together, these places form a built record of the East End’s transition from a working marketplace to a vibrant mixed-use destination.

A glimpse into this chapter of the East End’s story can be found in the Market of Plenty photo collection by Tim Gladdis, capturing the final days of the Produce Market in 1987.
