Corrugated iron was a popular material used to construct the roofs and walls of such structures owing to how light, affordable, durable and easy to install it is. In 1881, a fully functioning water-borne sewerage system was installed in Adelaide, making it the first city in Australia to have one. Indoor plumbing in the 1900s allowed for the expansion of in-building toilets, making corrugated iron lean-tos more and more prevalent on the backs and tops of existing buildings. Though only a few building-top lean-tos remain now, this large one still existing behind the old Victoria Hotel (now Woolshed) on Hindley Street.

Building this way preserves heat within the interior, and allows each construction to make the most of the land it has been allocated. I was amazed at how the Portuguese build straight on slopes. These two houses have different roof-clearance heights on the ground floor though they are in the same building. They are also surprisingly close to the tram track.
