| Significance |
This is a classic boom-era house, built in 1882 towards the end of the late nineteenth century economic boom. It was designed by Cumming and Davies in the Victorian Italianate style and is significant for being erected for George E Fulton.
Fulton arrived in South Australia in 1878, and established Fulton's Foundry in 1879. A contract for cast-iron pipes enabled him to establish the first pipe factory in Adelaide. The company was advertised in 1882 as 'Consulting Engineers, Builders, Contractors and Machinery Importers for engines and machinery of all descriptions'. It soon became one of the largest industrial concerns in South Australia, supplying cast-iron work of all descriptions, pipes, mine furnaces and pumping engines. By 1901 Fulton's factory at Kilkenny covered five acres and employed the then large number of 350 men.
The dwelling's facade is significant as one of the most intact and elaborate on an asymmetrical villa in Adelaide, with excellent detailing similar to, but even more flamboyant than, the Master's Lodge at St Marks College. The elaborate and intricate detailing of the bow window, and its gable barges are its chief glories. (Condensed from S Marsden et al 'Heritage of the City of Adelaide' (1990), p381) |

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.
