Pirie Street (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) is a road on the east side of the centre of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia.[1] It runs east-west, between East Terrace and King William Street. After crossing King William Street, it continues as Waymouth Street. It forms the southern boundary of Hindmarsh Square which is in the centre of the north-east quadrant of the city centre.
Pirie Street was named after Sir John Pirie, Lord Mayor of London, England and a founding director of the South Australian Company.[2]
Pirie Street is served by a stop on the Glenelg tramline. It is mainly occupied by office buildings, restaurants, and nightspots.
The Pirie Street Methodist Church was located on the site of the Adelaide Town Hall office building, with the 1862 Methodist Meeting Hall behind.
Notable buildings
The Epworth Building at 31-35 Pirie Street was built in 1926 as a commercial property for the Methodist Church.[3] Designed by the architectural practice of English and Soward,[4] it is listed among the 120 nationally significant 20th-century buildings in South Australia.[5]
