Government Produce Store, Light Square, 1942

State Library Catalogue Reference: B 10905

North-eastern corner of Light Square. The Adelaide Ice and Cold Storage Company built this ornamental facility in Light Square in 1900. In 1911 it became the Government Produce Depot. It was known locally as the 'cold stores'.

It was unusually ornamental for a cold produce storage facility, being a neoclassical red brick building featuring pilasters - slightly projecting columns on the face of a wall - with rendered mouldings, and a decorative parapet.

The building was extended in 1926. The chimney was demolished in 1942 and the whole building was demolished in the 1980s to make way for the new Adelaide College of TAFE in Light Square.
