Carrington Street (34°55′52″S 138°36′22″E / 34.931°S 138.606°E / -34.931; 138.606) is a street in the south-eastern sector of the centre of Adelaide[1], South Australia. It runs east-west, from East Terrace to King William Street, blocked at Hutt Street and crossing Pulteney Street.

Carrington Street was named after John Abel Smith (Lord Carrington), a member of the National Colonisation Society of 1830, on 23 May 1837.[2]

This row of terraced houses in Carrington Street was constructed in 1880 for Charles Wylde, a draper, and is one of the largest terraces erected in Adelaide. It was designed by Daniel Garlick and constructed using bluestone (slate) from Mitcham.[3][4]
