| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Dwelling ('Eden Park') and Coach House (former Salvation Army Boys' Home) |
| Registered Name |
'Eden Park' - Dwelling and Coach-house |
| Significance |
Built for James Ramsay, 'Eden Park' is representative of the large houses built for successful men of local industry in both urban and rural South Australia in the nineteenth century. Such properties served to define the status of these men and their families within the community. Eden Park's later role as a Salvation Army Boys' Home is significant in its own right and is also representative of the need to find suitable new uses for such large homes when they became a financial burden on following generations. Many large houses became educational institutions, charity homes for the old or infirm, or children's homes. The main house at 'Eden Park' has had additions and alterations over the years but the original material is remarkably intact with the intrusion of partition walls and timber verandah balustrading reversible if desired. The main house and coach-house have fine architectural detailing and are in good condition. |
