Background

The Roundhouse captures the history of the first permanent bridge to span the Murray River. Built for Mr Henry Parker, superintendent overseeing bridge construction works in 1874, this unusual hexagonal shaped historical residence enhances spectacular views of the river and bridges. The Roundhouse is State Heritage and National Estate listed and as has been lovingly restored and maintained by local volunteers and the Rural City of Murray Bridge.

The Roundhouse was the first substantial building in Murray Bridge and has significant historical value to the early development of the town serving as a School, Post Office, Church and Council chambers.

Located adjacent to the road and rail bridges spanning the River Murray, the Roundhouse is within walking distance of the main street (Bridge Street). The Roundhouse is open most weekends and public holidays between 11am-3pm or at other times by appointment and is regularly booked for weddings, wedding photos and tours by bus and school groups.
