Our Boys Institute

[1] OBI promoted a Christian philosophy and also ran camps and provided employment assistance for young men.

[2] OBI had its own purpose-built premises at 221 Wakefield Street, Adelaide, which were opened in 1896, and included lecture and games rooms, indoor running track and pool.

[6] The carved sandstone Venetian Gothic façade of the building was listed on the South Australian Heritage Register on 24 July 1980.

[1] The façade of the Our Boys Institute bears similarities to the Chicago Athletic Association Building; it has been suggested that Danker was influenced by the club and its architect, Henry Ives Cobb.

[7] The building has since been used as office space and an external studies college[3] and was converted by architects JPE Design Studio[8] to a boutique hotel in 2008.
