I'm not pleased with public paranoia these days.
"If you see something ..." Screw that.
If I see a guy carrying explosives, I will let the authorities know. If I see a guy with a camera, I will go about my own business and wonder what kind of wine I'm going to have with dinner toinght.
So I'm going to take pictures of places which will piss off security-minded fools. Maybe I'll wear a keffiyeh. Fear my checkers & herringbone.

Facing Hyde Street, the rear of the building is almost as ornate as the frontage overlooking Hindmarsh Square. Originally “Young Women Christian Association” was stuccoed along the rear with “YWCA” in the central panel. [Photo from State Library of SA: PRG 631/2/164 (1901)]
Foundation stone 12 Jul 1900 by Miss Colton, opened 22 Nov 1900 for Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA), architect G de Lacy Evans & R J Haddon, purchased 1914 by SA Branch of British Medical Association, Lady Colton Hall renamed Lister Hall, used for medical meetings & social activities, purchased 1929 by Royal Automobile Association, sold 1954, but re-purchased by RAA 1980s, now business premises. The site was originally the location of Heinrich Wilhelm Ehmcke’s sawmill & timberyard (later Ehmcke & Gaetjen).
“Young Women's Christian Association. . . The site for the new home is upon the western side of Hindmarsh-square, a little south of Grenfell-street, and on part of the block known for many years as Messrs. Ehmcke & Gaetjen's timberyard. A right-of-way along the north side of the building affords light and air on that aspect, and Hyde-street at the rear does the some on the west, while the architects have left an open passage along the best part of the south side, thus ensuring cross ventilation in every direction. The design is that of Messrs. de Lacy Evans and R. J. Haddon, of Melbourne, and shows a sensibly-treated work, which partakes somewhat of the style of architecture known as ‘Queen Anne’. Red brick and details in cement work form the exterior. The north-east salient angle carries a circular turret, with lead roof, while the main entrance is marked by a flight of steps, and a group of columns on each side. . . and the supervising architect is Mr. A. Barnaul Black, F.S.A.I.A.” [Advertiser 11 Jul 1900]
“The members of the Y.W.C.A. were unfortunate in having a wet day for the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of their new building, the Lady Colton Memorial Institute. . . the stone, which was inscribed ‘Y.W.C.A. This stone was laid by Miss Colton, July 12, 1900’. The stone was presented by Mr. Torode, and the tablet and inscription were given by Mr. W. H. Martin.” [Advertiser 13 Jul 1900]
“the Lady Colton Memorial Institute, which, will be the future home of the Young Women's Christian Association. . . the accomplishment of the scheme which was set on foot nearly two years ago for the purpose of raising funds to erect a worthy memorial to the memory of Lady Colton, the founder and first President of the. Association [Register 12 Jul 1900]
“The South Australian branch of the British Medical Association has purchased the land and buildings of the Y.W.CA. in Hindrnarsh-square for £5,500. . . [Y.W.C.A.] have between 800 and 900 paid-up members. Connected with the different clubs and classes there are hundreds more, the actual total last year being 1,150 girls. You will understand, therefore, that the Institution cannot do its work properly in cramped quarters. The new boarding-home in Carrington-street is a magnificent branch. . . It is not proposed that the place shall be converted into a club for doctors. It will be purely an office and place of meeting to discuss subjects of interest to the profession. The Lady Colton Hall will be utilised as a lecture and demonstration theatre, in addition to a hall for meetings connected with lie Medical Association.” [Advertiser 13 Aug 1913]
“discuss the question of the location of the new building to be erected to replace the present hall, which has been sold to the South Australian branch of the British Medical Association. The matter was freely debated, and it was decided to build on the block of land south of the- Lady Colton Hall. That site has been the property of the Y.W.C.A. for several years.” [Register 28 Aug 1913]
“At the end of the present month the Young Women's Christian Association will relinquish possession, of Lady Colton Hall, which it sold to the British Medical Association. . . The present building was erected nearly 15 years ago, . . The initial meeting was held in the Pirie Street Methodist Church Lecture Hall in 1879. . . . In . . . rooms were taken in Franklin street. . . From 1888 to 1889 the home was in Flinders street, where, for the first time, a few beds were provided. In 1889 the association took the flat over Craven & Armstrong’s, in Pulteney street.” [Register 23 Apr 1914]
“The work of the Y.W.C.A. has progressed to such an extent that the accommodation at the headquarters, the Lady Colton Hall, has now become inadequate for carrying on the work. New, spacious, and more modern premises are therefore being erected on an adjoining site.” [Advertiser 25 Apr 1914]
“The new headquarters of the South Australian branch of the British Medical Association were opened yesterday afternoon and the hall was dedicated to the memory of the illustrious Lord Lister. . . the premises in Hindmarsh-square formerly occupied by the Young Women's Christian Association. The building has been renovated throughout, and will provide an excellent headquarters for the medical profession in South Australia. The opening ceremony was performed in the Lister Hall in the presence of a large gathering of medical practitioners and students..” [Advertiser 26 Jun 1914]
“Messrs. William Silver and Eugene Alderman entertained a number of friends at an "at home" at their new music-rooms, in the British Medical Association House, in Hindmarsh-square.

“Mr. Matthew McGregor announces that his classes for ballroom dancing will resume on March 1 at the British Medical Association Building, Hindmarsh square. The latest dance measures and fashionable figures will be included in the season's programme.” [The Mail 20 Feb 1915]
“Members of the Automobile Association of South Australia will occupy their own building in Hindmarsh square in about four months. Situated near the Young Women's Christian Association and known as the British Medical Association Building, it was purchased by the association some months ago. . . The interior of the building, which comprises two floors and a basement, will be reconstructed. . . The main hall, known as Lister Hall, will be used as a large general office,” [News 9 Oct 1928]
“The Royal Automobile Association head office in Hindmarsh square will be sold when the association moves to its new premises nearby, now known as 'Open House,' at the corner of Grenfell street and Hindmarsh square.” [Advertiser 4 Nov 1954]
“RAA. . . The association bought its present head office building in 1926 for £11,000 In recent years, it has acquired a 70 ft. by 100 ft. property a few doors south, formerly owned by Kean Oil Co., and a garage and workshops in Hyde street, at the rear of Hindmarsh square. It is likely that the present head office will be sold, but that the association will retain the other two properties.” [News 30 Sep 1954]

Messrs. English & Soward, architects, were instructed to prepare plans for the new building, . . the facade is striking. It is of classic design, carried out in a special cement, which gives the effect of cut freestone. The wide entrance steps are composed of Angaston marble slabs, and ornamental tiles.
