About 51-53 Adelaide Street
51-53 Adelaide Street is a six storey red-bricked office building which occupies a prominent position with dual frontage on Adelaide Street and Clarence Street. Constructed in 1903, the building was originally commissioned by the linen merchants Fiddes, Todd & Corry Ltd and designed by architect Henry Hobart. It served as a linen warehouse until the late 1950s before being used by The Electrical Equipment Co. Ltd. During the 1970s, it was briefly occupied by a nursery goods retailer before transitioning to office use in 1980. A restaurant was later introduced at ground level, but the entire building is now vacant.
51-53 Adelaide Street is noted for its classical style, symmetrical fenestration, ornamental terracotta detailing, and overall architectural integrity, which has been largely preserved since its original construction.
In July 2025, Paul Stewart Developments Ltd submitted a planning application (LA04/2025/1188/F) proposing change of use from restaurant and office foyer at ground floor and offices at first to fifth floor to café, apart-hotel lobby and 31 no. unit apart-hotel.
