Exhibition Building
Type of PlaceBuildingDate1887-1962DescriptionThe Jubilee Exhibition Building was built to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Queen Victoria's accession to the throne on 20 June 1837.
The building, increasingly referred to as the Exhibition Building, was located opposite the corner of North Terrace and Pultney Street on what is now the University of Adelaide's North Terrace campus, between Bonython Hall and the old School of Mines building on the Frome Road corner. It was opened on 20 June 1887 and was used until the mid 1920s.
Withall and Wells were the architects and W. Rogers the builder. The corner-stone was laid on 21 June 1886.
In 1929 the land and building were transferred to the University, and the building was demolished in 1962 to make way for the Napier building, Adelaide Law School and the Adelaide Law School car park.
