| Significance |
Built in 1883 for successful merchant and pastoralist GP Doolette, this villa is of most significance for its twentieth century use as the Adelaide Kindergarten Training College, which served the entire State. The College was founded in 1907 and occupied several premises until the Kindergarten Union purchased this dwelling in 1915, thanks to a gift from Robert Barr Smith, one of the State's greatest philanthropists. The College remained in the premises until it relocated to Childers Street, North Adelaide in 1961.
For most of that period the College was the second most significant teacher training institution in the State, the other being Adelaide Teachers College, established in 1876 as the Teacher Training School. [S Marsden et al 'Heritage of the City of Adelaide (1990) p371]

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
