1 THEBARTON CAMPUS 4.1 Description of Thebarton Campus The former Faulding Pharmaceuticals factory and laboratory site and its associated buildings are significant elements in the industrial and social development of Thebarton and located on land closely associated with the establishment of industry along the River Torrens. Thebarton Campus is based on this site and contains a range of buildings, predominantly of 1920s red brick, with high quality detailing generally. The buildings are a range of industrial and residential structures which were adapted by the University in The earliest building on the site is the eucalyptus oil distillery, which was part of the original (C s) tannery, and then converted when Fauldings took over the site in the 1920s.

2 The Distillery Building Information Name: The Distillery, Eucalyptus Distillery Location Little Winwood Street, Thebarton Date of Construction: Circa 1860 Description: A two level simple brick structure now rendered, with corrugated iron gable infill and simple gable roof, originally facing the River Torrens. It has been converted to offices and is used as a the administrative centre for the University Campus. Heritage Status: State Heritage Register (Place no ) Summary Statement of Heritage Value: This building was used for many years as the eucalyptus oil distillery for the pharmaceutical company of FH Faulding & Co. (now known as Fauldings), who pioneered several new technologies in the development and manufacture of drugs and other pharmaceutical products. The production of eucalyptus oil was at one stage a large part of Faulding's manufacturing process, forming the raw material for many of its products.

3 41 The distilling of eucalyptus on a large scale was not common in South Australia. It is possible that part of the building was originally associated with Bean's tannery, one of the several such enterprises located on the banks of the River Torrens in the earlier years of settlement of the area. The building thus represents two industries important to both Thebarton and the State. Several alterations and additions have reduced the building's integrity. The random coursed stonework of the building is not of great merit. (Thebarton Heritage Survey 1991).
