Significance Glenthorne is significant for its association with a notable early South Australian, Major Thomas Shuldham O'Halloran, and its later association with the Commonwealth Government in the form of the Australian Army. O'Halloran was particularly active in the political and social life of the colony as South Australia's first Commissioner of Police, a Member of the Legislative Council and a generous donor to educational and religious causes. He was also a farmer and lived at Glenthorne, practising experimental farming there until his death in 1870. In 1913 the property was acquired by the Commonwealth for use as an Army Remount Depot as part of a program to expand the country's military capabilities in the decade after Federation. Hence it is also significant for its association with the early years of the Australian Army, which superseded the independent colonial forces. Elements of both these phases of occupation remain on the site. (HSA Assessment Report 02/2002).

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.
