41 Unlisted Buildings of Local Heritage Value

This document contains 41 buildings that have been
assessed as meeting Development Act 1993 Section
23 local heritage criteria by Donovan and Associates
as part of the City Heritage Survey 2009.

However, these buildings were not designated as
local heritage places in the City Centre Heritage
Development Plan Amendment Part 1 by the Minister
for Planning on 25 March 2013.

All 41 buildings are located within the area of the City
covered by the Capital City Zone.

This document - In alphabetical street order -

prepared by Donovan and Associates.

Note that a separate City Centre Heritage
Development Plan Amendment Part 2 with around
170 buildings remains under consideration by Council.

This report has been prepared following the Council
resolution of 16 April 2013 that ‘Council makes
available an illustrated report listing assessment
details and criteria met by all the properties that have
been declared as being worthy of Local Heritage
listing but rejected by the Minister of Planning.’

P ag e | 2
NAME: Attached cottages, 275-277 Angas Street ZONE/POLICY AREA: MU - PA26

DESCRIPTION:

These are single-storey cottages, built of bluestone. The roof is gabled and of corrugated iron. Quoins
are rendered and painted, with decorative brackets at the roofline; gabled ends of the building
feature brick coping. There is a concave verandah that extends across the front of the cottage. The
brick chimneys feature decorative tops. Front windows and door surrounds have been rendered.
Door and window frames are of timber with a front timber-panelled door and double-hung sash
windows. Additions have been made to the rear of the cottage.

The assessment includes the form of the original cottage beneath the front gabled section, the front
verandah, and traditional treatment of window and door surrounds. The cottage is complemented by
the front fence of bluestone with rendered masonry pillars and cast iron railings..

The assessment does not include additions to the rear nor interior detailing.

The essential form of the dwelling remains evident.

STATEMENT OF HERITAGE VALUE:

This item is of heritage value because it is an early bluestone cottage that retains much of its original
fabric, reflects its original form and features and character of the early residential occupation of the
area. It illustrates several key themes in the city’s history: 2.4 City Dwellers: Householders, Boarders
and Tenants; 4.3 Development of the Building Industry, Architecture and Construction; and 4.5.2
Victorian Houses (1870s to 1890s).

RELEVANT CRITERIA (Under Section 23(4) of the Development Act 1993):

This building is recommended for Local Heritage listing because it meets the following criterion:

(a) it displays historical, economical or social themes that are of importance to the local area
which was once predominantly residential.

ELEMENTS OF HERITAGE VALUE:

Inclusions
• External form and scale of the original building, including exterior walls and roof;
• Fabric and detailing of the façade;
• Front fence.

Exclusions
• Rear additions
• Interior detailing
• New services

BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:

This attached cottage was constructed on portion of Town Acre 423 that was originally granted to
George Fife Angas and others (the South Australian Company) on 23 December 1837.

Over time the land was subdivided and, in January 1868, John Eickhoff is noted as the owner of land
measuring 60 ft x 190 ft. Assessment records indicate Eickhoff as the owner of the vacant land in 1867
but the owner of a house with an annual assessed value of £20 by 1868. By the 1871 assessment
(adopted 10 January 1871), the annual assessed value had risen to £35.

The Smith Survey confirms that the dwelling was built prior to 1880.

John Eickhoff died in August 1880 and the title passed to his executors, Friedrich Gatzmeyer and
William Delano. His executors placed the property on to two titles and the title to this portion—now
measuring 37 ft 9 inches x 192 ft—passed to Annie G Gatzmeyer in June 1888. Annie remained owner
until her death in March 1931 with various members of the Gatzmeyer family retaining ownership
until November 1975.

While ownership to the property has continued to change, there appears little change to the original
form or scale of the attached cottage.

Cottage, 14 Cardwell Street – View to southeast

P ag e | 5
NAME: Cottage, 14 Cardwell Street ZONE/POLICY AREA: MU - PA26

DESCRIPTION:

Double-fronted cottage with bluestone front wall: northern wall to Kenton Street is painted. The roof
is hipped of corrugated galvanised iron, with two rendered chimneys, each with decorative tops;
there are paired brackets beneath the front eaves. The front verandah is concave corrugated iron,
and has timber posts and simple timber brackets. There are rendered and banded quoins and
rendered and painted door and window surrounds; door and windows are timber-framed, the

The assessment includes the original structure and form of the cottage beneath the hipped roof, the
front verandah, and traditional treatment of window and door surrounds.

The assessment does not include additions to the rear, interior detailing, nor the front fence.

The essential form of the dwelling remains evident: the appearance of the building would be
enhanced with a more appropriate front fence.

STATEMENT OF HERITAGE VALUE:

BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:

This cottage was constructed on portion of Town Acre 351 that was originally granted to George Fife
Angas and others (the South Australian Company) on 23 December 1937.

Over time, the land was subdivided and in December 1893, land and estate agents Frederick Bullock
and James Viner Smith sold the site—measuring 35.3 ft x 90 ft—to Charles Patrick Wauchope, clerk of
Adelaide, for £523.

Assessment records for 1894 (adopted 11 November 1893) indicate that the land was vacant.
However, by the following year Charles Wauchope is noted as living in a house owned by F W Bullock
& Co. in Cardwell Street on Town Acre 351. It seems likely that Bullock and Viner Smith erected the
cottage before Wauchope became the registered owner as Building Surveyor’s Notices indicate
Bullock responsible for the construction of several cottages in Cardwell Street around this time: 16
May 1893 (3-roomed cottage, £200); 7 July 1893 ( 4-roomed cottage, £350); and 19 September
(cottage, £350). Wauchope took out a mortgage on the property soon after acquiring the title
(discharged in 1896) and retained ownership until March 1899.

In the intervening period, the cottage has been owned and occupied by people with a variety of
occupations, reflecting the nature of shorter-term occupancy that reflects the changing local
employment prospects.

In 1987, approval was given to convert the use of the cottage ‘to offices/resident’.

central brick chimney. The front verandah is concave corrugated iron, and has timber posts and cast
iron decorative brackets and shallow frieze. There are rendered and banded quoins and rendered and

BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:
P ag e | 9
This cottage was erected on portion of Town Acre 351 that was originally granted to GF Angas and
others (the South Australian Company) on 23 December 1837.

In November 1881, the registered owners of the still vacant land—measuring 212 ft x 191 ft—were
Arthur Lucas Harrold, Samuel Cornish and Henry Dunkin O’Halloran, all noted as gentlemen of
Adelaide. Shortly after, in July 1882, Simpson Newland, member of the South Australian parliament,
and Charles Burton Hardy, solicitor of Adelaide, purchased the property. They remained owners until
February 1890.

In April 1893, land and estate agents Frederick Bullock and James Viner Smith purchased the vacant
land. It appears that it was at this stage that the land was subdivided and a portion—now measuring
20.6 ft x 90 ft—was purchased by Alfred Bailey, coachman of Adelaide, for £390-8s, in August 1893. It
seems likely that Bullock and Viner Smith erected the cottage for Bailey as assessment records for
1895 (adopted 17 December 1894) note Alfred Bailey owning and occupying a house in Cardwell
Street with an annual assessed value of £18. Building Surveyor’s Notices indicate that a notice was
received by Council on 19 September 1893 noting that builder FW Bullock & Co. was responsible for
the construction of a cottage in Cardwell Street on Town Acre 351 at an estimated cost of £350. It is
likely that this notice refers to this cottage.

In the intervening years, the cottage has been owned and occupied by people with a variety of
occupations, reflecting the nature of shorter-term occupancy that reflects the changing local
employment prospects.
