Celebrating 100 Years of the Prince Alfred College Memorial Building and Hall of Remembrance.
Designed by architect Edward Davies, Governor Sir Tom Bridges laid the foundation stone of the new block on 21st July 1923.
On 27th September 1924 C.R.J. Glover, lord mayor of Adelaide and an old scholar, formally declared the building open.
The Memorial Building block, was completed in 1924, into which the senior school then moved. Our school felt the losses of World War I very deeply and recognised this by creating a prominent, living, and breathing building to remember the students through.
The walls are adorned in gold leaf with the names of our Old Scholars who served. Above the magnificent stained-glass windows reads 'Hall of Remembrance'.
Today the room is accessible to students and reserved for special events.
