This certificate confirms that the building on South Terrace Adelaide has been placed on the Register of State Heritage Items. It appears that there is a mistake with the street number; the building is at 262 South Terrace, not 264.

It was interesting to see that the Deaf Society board appealed against the heritage listing, ‘on the grounds that it would restrict the Society’s ability to manage its total assets for the benefit of future generations of the deaf.’ However, their appeal was rejected by the Heritage Register, as ‘the building was of significance, both historically and architecturally.’ (Royal South Australian Deaf Society 94th Annual Report, 1985, p. 4)
