Fowlers Factory, Adelaide
D and J Fowler were founded as a grocery shop in King William Street. The company expended to become a wholesaler. The firm created the Lion brand of products including floor, confectionary and canned fruits.
In 1906 architect Frank Counsell designed the factory building on North Terrace. The building consists of high-quality brick detailing. The Lion statue of on the roof took three months to carve. The building was opened in 1907.
The factory was used for the packaging of the Lion brand flour.
The building was originally symmetrical, however, with the construction of the Morphett Street Bridge the eastern side of the building was demolished in 1966.
The building was converted for Arts use starting in the 1970s and became the Lions Arts Centre in 1992.
