Windback Wednesday - William Smith Grocery and Bakery

This well-known building is located on the corner of Portrush Road and the South Eastern Freeway, Glen Osmond. Built in 1845, it was formerly a grocery and bakery managed by the Smith family from 1852 to 1968. The Glen Osmond Post Office also operated from this store in the early years.

In recent decades this building was the Colonial Restaurant Complex and was later occupied by the Gurdwara Sikh Society. It was confirmed as a State Heritage Place in 1989.
