4worldlovers: The idea of a rotunda by the River Torrens was suggested in the early 1880s as part of a plan by the Adelaide City Council to improve the river and its surrounds. The council proposed to dam the river, create a lake and construct a public esplanade to the west of City Bridge.

Wealthy businessman, pastoralist, parliamentarian and philanthropist Sir Thomas Elder heard of these plans when he was holidaying in the United Kingdom. He was aware that the mayor and the council had been unsuccessful in their attempts to raise funds for a rotunda to add to the public’s enjoyment of the lake side. Elder wrote to the council offering to donate one. As the Advertiser reported on 23 August 1881,

… he thought the occasion might be made a fitting one for presenting the council with a rotunda or band stand. He stated that he had ordered a rotunda to be made and sent to the colony, and he asked the council to accept it as a mark of his appreciation of the improvements they had carried out and his interest in the city.

“What a beautiful day/night. This venue is amazing. From the start of the wedding to the finish of the night you could not fault. The food, staff and the reception room was five star in every way. As it was my niece and her partner it was important that it was a day to remember. Ayers house did not disappoint. Thank you for a wonderful wedding and will certainly recommend it to future functions”

“Ayers House made planning our wedding a breeze, honestly the lead up to the big day, and on the night everything was perfect. I could not thank Deb and Richard more for all their help and patients.

I could not recommend them any higher. The food was outstanding, and the service was second to none. I will continue to recommend Ayers House to all my friends.”
