Dwelling |
| Significance |
Built in 1879 for Thomas Barnfield, 'Carhayes' is significant as one of the early Adelaide homes of the Bonython family, most notably John Langdon, who lived there for 19 years and his eldest son, John Lavington who owned and occupied 'Carhayes' for nearly 20 years. Both father and son had long and distinguished careers. John Langdon was for many years associated with the Advertiser newspaper, becoming its editor and later its proprietor. He was also one of the first members of the Federal Parliament and his interest in education was reflected in his association with the University of Adelaide, of which he was a principal benefactor, and the SA School of Mines and Industries. He also funded the completion of Parliament House, Adelaide. John Lavington followed his father with interests in the newspaper industry but his main interests were in civic affairs, most notably the Adelaide City Council (over 50 years service) and in being involved with many worthy causes and significant organisations. The house demonstrates the residential development in the southeast part of Adelaide which was much associated with the wealthier residents of the city in the late 19th century. |

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.
