For those of you who work in a modern highrise suburban office; this 1885 building is definitely not where you work!
In its day the Adelaide Arcade was one of Adelaide’s most progressive retail projects combining both manufacturing and a retail outlet for for each tenant. The building was also one of the very first to provide electricity and electric lighting. Today this building is beautifully maintained and a delight to wander through. Even better if you have an office there and get to live the ambiance every day.
To capture this image I simply waited for close of business and for everyone to leave. The consequence was that I got locked in and need to find alternate escape route!
