It's a small red brick building tucked away directly behind Grenfell Centre as you walk down the laneway beside it from Grenfell Street. It's survived two fires since it was constructed over a century ago, and most of the building is still the original.

One of the gems of Adelaide this old building is. I pass it nearly every day walking to work and have often tried to imagine a use for it but never really could come up with something appropriate. A research/educational facility is just about the perfect use for it I reckon.

Where is the stock exchange building. Is it near Grenfell Centre?

Yes its sandwiched between the Grenfell Centre and the Telstra Building. This image shows the building. Thanks to DEWHA for the image: (taken in 1984 when construction of the Telstra Building was starting)

Ah great, I love that little building, mostly for its turret and the effect it has on the laneways around it.

Nearly had a heart attack when I read "construct 5 level building on King William st", however luckily it is King William Rd North Adelaide. I'm not sure exactly where this is though... somewhere in the parklands

It appears to be at the rear of the two office blocks constructed for Norwich Union about 30 years ago, opposite the W&CH.

I rode past Morphett St on Sunday, and my eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw this new restaurant. What a great refurbishment of this building. Looks expensive though. Its on corner of Gouger and Morphett Sts, I think it used to be a furniture shop once. Here's some pics from today.

There appears to be 2 new establishments: "British India" and "The Thali Room". British India appears to be a restaurant, but what about the other one? is it a bar?

Pretty sure they are both restaurants/tappas bars by day and bars by night. 99% sure they are owned by the same people who own messa next door. so assuming its a similar setup to what is going on at messa/san gria next door. Havent been so not 100% certain but will be sure to check it out this weekend or next.

Sounds great. I love Sangria, so hopefully this will give me a new place to drink in.

get rid of the cane corner please! it's horrid and a completely inappropriate place to have a furniture shop.

agreed, but the tyre/mechanic place over the road is more out of place and inappropriate. Parts of the western end of Grote and Gouger Streets look like a small country town
