DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Former Reynella Changing Station Dwelling & Stables
Registered Name Former Changing Station
Significance Horse-drawn public transport was an important feature of South Australian society from the early years of the colony until around the time of the First World War. The major forms were trams, buses, cabs and coaches. Individuals who could afford to owned their own vehicles, of which there were a great variety available. The principal buildings required for the public transport industry were stables, vehicle barns and, for the long distance coaches, changing stations where the horses were changed to be rested. The changing stations were often located at hotels. The former changing station at Reynella is noteworthy as the only purpose-built changing station that is a State Heritage Place (as at August 2006) and for not being located at a hotel. The stable portion of the stables/ostlers' rooms building is also significant as being possibly the oldest building (1850s) left in the town. (The ostlers' rooms on the northern end appear to be a later extension of the stable, having red brick quoins in contrast to the random stonework with simple timber lintels of the stable section.) The separate dwelling/office which provided accommodation for the ostler also survives and still retains its ticket window. If the place were to be assessed against the current Heritage Act criteria it would satisfy criteria a and b.

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.
