Dwelling - Archbishop's House |
| Significance |
The Archbishop's House was built in 1845 to the design of the notable early architect George S Kingston. It was subsequently altered in 1860, 1882, 1918, 1935 and 1936. Historically, it is associated with Dr. Murphy and has been the residence of all subsequent Catholic Bishops. It is one of the earliest Roman Catholic buildings to survive in South Australia, and is contemporary with the Colony's first Roman Catholic Church, St Mary's at Morphett Vale (registered place 10596). It is also one of the few remaining residences surviving along West Terrace, and therefore serves as a reminder of the transition from residential to mainly commercial land use in the area. Of note, and demonstrating early building techniques, is the rare early rolled sheet metal roof, of which the one on Buffalo Cottage, Finniss Street, North Adelaide (registered place 13557) is the only other known example in the City.

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.
