DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Dwelling ('St Andrews'), including Coach House and fence
Registered Name Dwelling - 'St Andrew's'
Significance St Andrews is one of Adelaide's grandest and most impressively sited residences comprising the original dwelling constructed in 1861-62 and a new wing built in about 1881. It was built by James MacGeorge for his own occupation. He was an architect of some note and had a sizeable practice embracing all the developed areas of the colony in the late 1850s. St Andrews is also significant for its association with David Murray, one of Adelaide's most successful merchants at the time of his purchasing it in 1880. Murray arrived in South Australia in 1853 and soon after began the drapery business of D & W Murray, the firm expanding to become that of wholesale warehousing and shirt and boot making. Later, offices were opened in London, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Launceston, Townsville, Rockhampton and Broken Hill. Murray also served as an MP for several years, was a founder of the Adelaide YMCA, donated money for a library at the SA School of Mines and Industries, and all his prints and engravings to what is now the Art Gallery of South Australia.

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 Council areas, 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 Planning and Design Code or their local council for Local Heritage Places.

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.
