| Registered Name |
Black Hill Lodge - Former Weirmaster's House, Garage, Stone Channel and Dry-stone Walling Ramp |
| Significance |
Black Hill Lodge was built as part of a vital service to the capital city of the colony, namely the collection, storage and maintenance of the main water supply to Adelaide in the mid-nineteenth century. It was part of the first reticulated water supply scheme for the city which included a weir in the Torrens River Gorge and a pipe system to the Thorndon Park Reservoir. As the house for the keeper of the weir, the dwelling was an integral part of the large project which included engineering and building structures at both the Torrens Gorge and Thorndon Park Reservoir. |
