Adelaide Arcade coat of arms
A distinctive feature of Adelaide Arcade is the coat of arms which adorns its Rundle Mall facade.
The Adelaide Arcade was built in 1885, 16 years before federation and 24 years before a Coat of Arms was officially proclaimed (1908).
The Adelaide Arcade's Coat of Arms is still similar to Australia's official one in a few respects. It has a Kangaroo and Emu on each side, although opposite to the final Australian design.
