Adelaide North Terrace - Splendid eastern Archway of the Mounted Police Barracks complex. South Australia

            Police Heritage Site transcript
This plaque commemorates the site of the former North Terrace Mounted Police Barracks, 1851 – 1917.
Images are a plan view of the former Mounted Police Barracks complex, c1868, and Ceremonial Police-Parade, c1906 looking south. 
The North Terrace Police Barracks was the first major building complex erected on the northern side of North Terrace, Adelaide, between Kintore Ave and From Road. Built around a quadrangle, used as a parade ground for the mounted police, the complex consisted of a substantial armoury building, two wings, containing accommodation and offices for the mounted police and a large complex of stables and related buildings.
From 1851 to 1917 (inc) mounted police were deployed from this location to all parts of South Australia, and from 1869 to 1911 (inc) to the Northern Territory. 

It has been since been used for various purposes including accommodation for the Adelaide Teachers’ College, Children’s Library, and for museum purposes. Whilst some of the original structures have been demolished, a substantial amount of the impressive and significant early colonial buildings remains. They were carefully restored from 1984 to 1986.

This plaque was jointly unveiled on Police Foundation Day 28 April 2001 by Mr Malcolm Hyde APM Commissioner of Police [and] The Rt Hon The Lord Mayor of Adelaide Mr Alfred Huang.
