Dwelling ('Morden') |
| Registered Name |
Dwelling - 'Morden' |
| Significance |
'Morden', built in 1902, has strong associations with three noted South Australians: William Kither, John Richard Baker and Claude Alfred Haigh. William Kither made his name as a butcher and was a noted philanthropist, supporting such institutions as the Childrens and Royal Adelaide Hospitals. Kither embraced new technologies with enthusiasm, being the first to install electric lighting and refrigeration in buildings in the City of Adelaide. 'Morden' was designed for Kither by H L Jackman, considered at the time to be one of a new breed of architects, and was built by W C Torode, a pioneer of the use of reinforced concrete in domestic structures. Subsequent owners have included John Richard Baker, noted businessman, and Claude Alfred Haigh, confectioner and thoroughbred breeder (HSA, 3/2000). |
