Parliament House of South Australia
Parliament House of South Australia, Legislative building in Adelaide, Australia
The Parliament House features grand Neoclassical architecture with marble columns and granite details across its symmetrical facade on North Terrace.
Construction of this governmental structure began in 1874 and continued in stages until its official completion and inauguration in June 1939.
The Parliament of South Australia introduced women's suffrage in 1894, making it among the first jurisdictions worldwide to grant women voting rights.
Free guided tours of Parliament House operate when parliament is not in session, allowing visitors to explore the legislative chambers and historical rooms.
The building's east wing construction provided employment opportunities during the Great Depression following a substantial donation from Sir John Langdon Bonython.
