Description:
Interesting South Australian colonial image of the second of three buildings that stood on the site known as the Beehive, on the corner of Rundle Mall and King William Street. The Beehive, a draper’s shop was opened by Brewer and Robertson on October 1849, then in the 1860’s it seems to have been altered as in our engraving. The alterations included the removal of the original gabled roof and the extension to the east probably with the acquisition of the neighbouring premises, Pearce Tailors which can be seen in S.T. Gill’s painting 1849. In our image the neighbouring premises on the eastern side is now J.T. Fickling who were tailors. On the King William side the neighbouring premises is a Homeopathic Pharmacy.
