Adelaide House, Historical stone building in Alice Springs, Australia.
Adelaide House stands as a stone structure with thick walls and designed openings that naturally regulate temperature in the desert environment of Central Australia.
The building, completed in 1926, served as the first hospital in Central Australia under the supervision of Reverend John Flynn of the Australian Inland Mission.
The structure represents early European settlement architecture in Central Australia, incorporating local materials and construction methods adapted to extreme desert conditions.
Located at the intersection of Todd Street and Gap Road, Adelaide House functions as a museum displaying medical equipment and photographs from early settlement days.
The structure features an early desert cooling system using roof vents and underground channels to maintain lower temperatures during summer months.
