Personally I think all the development in Norwood and Kent Town should be included in a Norwood/Kent Town thread.

After all Prospect has one and I see the day when there are a lot more projects in this part of town, especially Kent Town.

The building on the far right is the Ex weather bureau which some tried to save by getting it heritage listed but this got turned down last week.

Yes, I was quite disappointed that the bid failed, and even more disappointed about the coverage of it. Seems almost impossible to get any modernist architecture heritage listed in Adelaide, so we'll repeat the mistakes of ripping things down when their style is out of favour, only to lament the losses once that phase passes.

The back of the weather bureau is shown in my picture from 28/8/2017 on previous page.

12/8/2018 update for Prince Alfred college. Work is proceeding on level 5. North and west wing view from rear.

and also east wing view from rear.

Update 25/11/2018 . picture 1 looking to eastern end in The Parade (west). The new building is nearing completion,

Picture 2. The shade cloth is gradually being removed.

Picture 3 . The overhead pedestrian bridge has been installed. This has good clearance for traffic and has a lift and stairs at each end.
