Originally Jacob Street ran from Murray Street all the way through to Paterson Terrace, but the section between Murray Street and Reid Street has been developed - now it consists of Jacob Lane at the Murray Street end and the Big W complex/carpark at the Reid Street End.
Jacob Street has homes and buildings within it that are in Town of Gawler State or Contributory heritage list, including:
The old Fire Station and Salvation Army Hall also once stood on Jacob Street but were demolished.
Residents of Jacob Street
'Lot 49'
- Lot 49 was located on southern side of Jacob Street and is now part of the Big W complex/carpark (Note lot numbers are not the same as street numbers - see Lot 49 on the historic Gawler Town Plan)
- 1860 8 two-room cottages were built on the lot and tenanted out, initially under the management of Frederick Foote Turner[1]
- 1867-1878 cottages were under management of Lawson's Trustees and William Broderick was one of the tenants (it seems two of the smaller cottages were combined to create a larger dwelling, as there were only 7 cottages remaining and the one the Broderick's occupied was rated higher)[1]
- 1885 C G Dow owned the cottages, and occupied Dow one which was now a dwelling and store[1] (a step up for Dow who had operated the Night Cart!)[2]
- 1888-1891 6 cottages remained, were under management of W R Lewis and John Curnow was occupier of two of them.[1] By this stage the cottages would have been 30 years old and the low council rates reflect they were pretty lowly.[1]
24 Jacob Street
- 1939 residence of Edwin James Mold (carpenter) and Florence Mildred Rose Mold (home duties)[3]
