Well worth visiting when you or your guests visit North Adelaide ! A beautifully designed & built Church !

Brougham Place Uniting Church (former North Adelaide Congregational Church), 196-210 Brougham Place, North Adelaide, was confirmed as a State Heritage Place in 1985.

The church was opened on 22 February 1861 but it would continue to be constructed until the tower was completed in July 1872. The church was to be designed with Italian architectural styling. The window openings have a strong Venentian influence and it has several features that have been described as evocative of Baroque designs as well.

Rodney Twiss This amazing building is just behind our bathroom , so I hear all the conversations from the coffee cafe ! This is a much better photo than I could take due to the bulky flyover now on Chowringhee Road !

30 Chowringhee Road
Chowringhee Mansions

This is 30 Chowringhee Road. As known in a 1874 Directory, this number at Park Street crossing on the northside, where now Chowringhee Mansion stands, there was United Service Club with JB Pitchall Secretary, then a club for the elite members of British India services. The membership was initially restricted only to ICS and Military Services and later opened to other Government officers including Europeans and Bengal Pilots. The club continued to operate here till around 1906.

In 1907 the current building with about 8,500 square feet area was built by property developer David Joseph Ezra and the builder was Mackintosh Burn & Co. Further, as in the 1918 Thackers India Directory, it had 4 floors in 4 blocks with 24 apartments, 2 in each block each floor in the upper three floors with a long list of occupants, all British or European names except an Indian merchant Khan Bahadur Haji Ismail Sait in the entire floor, apartment 21 & 22 on the second floor of Block D. The ground had storefronts, occupied by New Egerton Woolen Mills Co. & The Cawnpore Cotton Mills Co. in Block A, Spence’s Ltd. & Swiss Embroidery Co. in Block B and AJ Smith & TA Wakefield Co. in Block C.

During 1940’s Christian Science Society was also housed here, besides a ladies’ Beauty Parlour Parisettes and a clinic of Dr. SR Chandra, FRCS.

Later, the building was given the status of Grade I Heritage Building by KMC because of its architectural design and no external look changes were allowed.

Currently, mostly occupied by offices like Inland Power, Phoenix Advertisement, Bengal Omnitech Nirman Ltd., Iconic Products Pvt. Ltd., Unimark Metallurgical Pvt. Ltd., The Atlantic Oil Company Pvt. Ltd., Seeyok Tea Co. Pvt. Ltd., MACJ Services LLP, Waterfront Residency LLP, Inland Khatta Products Pvt. Ltd., etc. Also there is a cozy cafe Kulture on the 3rd floor with stunning view of Maidan.

Our Director’s were particularly pleased to accept the Lord Mayor’s invitation to this important an annual celebration! It was an excellent idea to include serious mention of William Morris who was much admired in Adelaide ! Our Buxton Manor owes its design to his ideas , concepts , and is a brilliant example of the Arts & Crafts movement before the WW1 ! Thank you Lord Mayor Jane Lomax-Smith !

Our esteemed neighbour to our unique Fire Station Inn 🏨 c 1866 , with the school being an eleven years younger !

It would be fair to say I was rapt to the back teeth to speak at North Adelaide Primary School's first assembly for term two today.

It was a great reminder that while we spend a lot of time talking about the future of our city, it's actually sitting there in our classrooms.

Infront of more than 200 students, I spoke about the importance of local government, the Adelaide Town Hall, and looking after your teeth from an early age.

I also received a tour of the library where I was able to leave copies of Danny Snell's My Teeth for young readers to learn all about the science, history and wonders of teeth.
