Hospital - St Corantyn Clinic |
| Significance |
Dating from 1891-92, St Corantyn is a significant and well preserved example of the work of architect George Klewitz Soward. It was built for Soward's daughter Eliza and son-in-law Charles Hornabrook, who was the licencee of the York Hotel. The house is of relatively modern design, though it retains elements of Victorian gothic styling that were common especially in institutional buildings in Adelaide. The interior decoration in the form of the elaborate carved timberwork and stained glass work continues the Gothic theme and gives the house the feel of a large English manor. The brickwork and internal detailing remain largely intact, and are of a design that reflects the contemporary influence of the Arts and Crafts architects practising in England.
St Corantyn is also associated with prominent 20th Century Adelaide citizens including furniture emporium proprietor Malcolm Reid, who lived there from 1912-1928, and Adelaide Lord Mayor Sir John Lavington Bonython. Bonython was the last private owner of the house and lived in it for the longest period (1928-1960). His second wife (Jean Warren) who had interests in interior decorating, probably had the most influence on the existing and original fabric of the house.
Although no longer in use as a residence, St Corantyn retains the form and features of a grand residential mansion overlooking the Park Lands and reflects the status and lifestyle of some of the notable residents of Adelaide. (Adapted from Conservation Study, Danvers Architects Pty Ltd 1990).

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.
