“Preserving Historic Adelaide shows what the city can offer … if the right action is taken.  It starts with a question – why bother to preserve old buildings? – and finishes with positive recommendations for a sound and workable conservation policy.  Informative and well-researched articles, together with more than a hundred photographs and sketches, highlight aspects of the city that have largely been ignored in the past, and suggest how in the future our rich architectural resources may be used rather than replaced.”
