[COM] 228-231 North Terrace | 68m | 21 Levels | Student Accom

[Blimp]

Proposed less than 9 months ago, and already underway.

And they say things travel slowly here in Adelaide...

Only catch is it has to be student accommodation and the design must be sub-standard in order to progress quickly

Internal demolition underway. Can't say I'll be too sad to see either building go.

I've always quite liked Elizabeth House as a fairly tidy example of a 1950s building. I like the angled windows - it's something different.

On a very minor note, it's a shame the demo company has just mangled the Elizabeth House letting on front of the building. Not sure if it was original to the building but I like the idea of preserving stuff like that, even if it's just being sold off letter by letter in a junk shop. A small bar could have used them to spell out I SEE EBOLA on a wall somewhere...

I definitely agree with you there. Compared to the facades of other buildings from that era in the CBD, Elizabeth House is rather inoffensive. It will be somewhat sad to see it go.

I feel this may be one of those buildings that people look back on in 50 years and question why it was demolished.

The smaller of the 2 buildings was being demolished today (Saturday 20/8/2016)

The 1960s building on the right is almost gone now.

Disappointing! When the building next door to the right came down for the resi tower... it revealed some old school signage on the building that had been covered for many decades. The most interesting for me was a business advertisement with a 5 digit phone number.

I was hoping for a similarly cool time capsule on Elizabeth House. Ah well.

Anyone got any photos of what used to be there? (UniSA apartments)

Demolition of Elizabeth House has started

Elizabeth House is gone.

[slenderman]

Now just a big pile of rubble. There's a nice view of Citi Centre Arcade and Conservatory on Hindmarsh from North Terrace, soon to be built out of view again.

[EBG]

Not much left at all now (Saturday 24/9/16).

[how good is he]

Can anyone explain the timber-clad fire-stairs/exit along rear left of this building/photo?
Is this still a part of Elizabeth house and still needs to go or is it part of the Aust Fashion Labels building? I can't work out why it would be in timber and why it hasn't either been demolished or upgraded (if remaining).
