Quaker (Society of Friends) Meeting House (A prefabricated 'Manning' House) |
| Registered Name |
Quakers Meeting House |
| Significance |
The Society of Friends (Quaker) Meeting House is extremely important to an understanding of the types of buildings imported during the earliest years of South Australia and the part played by prefabrication as a tool of colonisation. Manufactured by the noted prefabricator of 'portable colonial cottages', Henry Manning of London, the Meeting House arrived at Port Adelaide on 6 February 1840 aboard the ship 'Rajasthan'. It is one of the most sophisticated examples of prefabrication from this period and is of international importance to the development of this most important building technique.
The building is testimony to Manning's high quality workmanship and his remarkable perception of climatic control (especially the use of verandahs, not supported, but tied down by the iron 'pillars'). The interior is remarkable for its originality; the pews are also by Manning, and are the only pieces of furniture made by him known to have survived.

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.
