The Gresham Hotel, on the southwest corner of North Terrace and King William Street, stood on one of Adelaide’s most prominent commercial sites.

A plain building, it had a large cast iron verandah and balcony, with columns grouped in pairs to emphasize the cut off corner and the principal entrance.

Great photo – quite rare to see a horse and cart in the midst of King William St gridlock these days!
I have found a photo of the north end of King William St that includes the Gresham Hotel. It is dated 1860 to 79 but does not appear to have the balcony or verandah you mention. zoom here: http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-147331949/view
The billiard rooms seem to be on the corner and not the hotel. Regards Jim

Great find Jim! That building would have been demolished to make way for the three storey hotel built in 1873-74.
