The closest building to the corner housed Unley’s first purpose-built Council Chambers, a Town Hall and Institute.

South Australia was the first Australian colony to
institute local government.

Modifications to this building occurred six years after initial construction. In 1907 it was expanded to reach the corner and included a banking chamber occupied by the Bank of Adelaide.

The first Anglican Church in Unley (the smaller building
on the left) was built between 1869 and 1890 in the
neo-Gothic style.

The new and larger Gothic Revival style church was built in
1922 and consecrated in 1933 when free of debt. The bell tower is a memorial for those who died in World War I.

The church features a fine collection of stained glass windows by William Morris & Company of London and its successor Dearle.

The pipe organ, made in 1876, came here from St Peter’s Cathedral, North Adelaide after modifications in 1931.

The Savings Bank of SA built this two-storey building on the site of a former galvanised iron blacksmith shop.

Several renovations have been done including one in 1970.

Between the 1880s and 1912, bank transactions were conducted at the Unley Post Office further north on Unley Road.

G Hudd built the bank for £3,000 under the supervision of the architects Williams and Good.
