DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Dwelling ('Elder Mews') (former Adelaide Workmen's Homes)
Registered Name Attached Cottage - 'Elder Mews'
Significance The Elder Mews cottages are significant for being built by Adelaide Workmen's Homes, one of many South Australian organisations that benefited from the philanthropy of Sir Thomas Elder, who bequeathed 25000 pounds to establish the institution. Its aim was 'to benefit workmen by providing them with suitable dwellings at a reasonable rental'. Construction commenced in 1899, two years after Elder's death, and of the 48 homes built, 13 attached dwellings in three groups remain. The comfortable cottages contrasted markedly with other rental cottages being built for working class residents. The organisation also built homes at Rose St, Mile End (registered place 11792), Hilton and Richmond. Condensed from S Marsden et al 'Heritage of the City of Adelaide' (1990) p204.

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 Development Plans, 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 relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.

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.
