Gilles Street, Adelaide

Gilles Street (34°56′02″S 138°36′32″E / 34.934°S 138.609°E / -34.934; 138.609) is a street in the south-eastern sector of the centre of Adelaide, South Australia.[1][2] It runs east-west between East Terrace and King William Street, crossing Hutt Street and Pulteney Street. It was named after Osmond Gilles, an early treasurer of the colony of South Australia on 23 May 1837.[3][4]

This heritage-listed building in Gilles Street traded variously as the Beresford Arms and later Oddfellows Arms from 1840 until 1861, and was sold to a German printer in 1873. The early landowner, following subdivision of the original acre plot, was John Martin, known also for his founding connection with John Martin & Co.[5]
