Government House, Official residence in Adelaide, Australia
The Government House spans two levels with Neoclassical architectural elements featuring stone construction and stands at the intersection of North Terrace and King William Road.
The east wing of Government House, completed in May 1840 under Lieutenant Colonel George Gawler's direction, replaced an earlier timber and daub structure known as Government Hut.
The Federation Windows installation from 1901 contains stained glass panels depicting elements of South Australian heritage, complemented by an additional window added in 2001.
The residence maintains permanent flagpoles displaying Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, state, and national flags while offering guided tours for school and community groups.
Government House introduced an Arts Residency program in 2019, making the historical building a center for contemporary artistic expression in South Australia.
