Adelaide Brewery

Adelaide Brewery was an early colonial enterprise. While brewing has long ceased there, the building survives in a different guise.

Adelaide Fruit and Produce Exchange

The striking facade from Adelaide’s private produce market in the north east corner of the city remains a city landmark, though the market itself no longer operates.

Bethlehem Lutheran Church

The Evangelical Lutheran Bethlehem Church opened on 23 June 1872, this church is associated with the German migrant community. Its bell tower was intended to house three bells. The bells were reputedly cast in Germany from cannons captured from the French and presented by Prince Bismarck on behalf of the emperor. Two alternative explanations as to why these bells were not installed are that the ship carrying the bells was lost and that they arrived in Sydney in 1879 and were exhibited at the Sydney International Exhibition where they won a first prize.
