Building for Bourke Trust on site of old Reserve Bank. (SA Acad exhib 1934; SAB Apr 1934:29)(Ellis 1985) Also a reference to Burlington House, same date, I am assuming they are the same building. FG 08/12/03

The building is extant and in good condition. The building was undergoing refurbishment in 1985 when photo was taken. (Gerald Humphrey, July 2017)
