| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Dwelling ('The Cedars') & Hans Heysen's Studio |
| Registered Name |
The Cedars and The Studio |
| Significance |
The highest heritage significance of 'The Cedars' resides in its historical and artistic associations with the notable 20th century South Australian artist, Hans Heysen, and his immediate family, who lived there for over 75 years from 1912.
Architecturally, the residence and purpose-built studio demonstrate a high degree of aesthetic accomplishment, reflecting the artist's familial (German) traditions and his personalisation of the Federation Arts and Crafts Style. The high integrity of the fabric, including original furnishings and possessions belonging to the family, enhances its ability to reflect the personality and attitudes of Hans and Sallie Heysen, whose philosophy and traditions have given the property its essential character. Its rural setting amongst tall gum trees and traditional flower gardens provided a constant source of inspiration for the artist.
'The Cedars' is an unusually complete and well-preserved example of a notable family's long and continuous occupation and everyday lifestyle. [Adapted from: Bruce Harry and Associates 'Conservation Plan of "The Cedars" Heysen Road, Verdun, SA' December 1994]

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.
