| 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. |
