Description of nominated place or obiect Description of the nominated place or object and Described in the State Heritage Register as follows: "Dwelling its current condition: facades with rendered quoins and moulded decorative surrounds, roof, chimneys, Bay window to front, concave return verandah on timber posts at ground floor level and small balcony over front entrance at fi rst fl oor level." Notable trees are also listed including Eucalyptus, Pinus, Cedrous. Palms. Araucaria, Olives and Jacaranda. Historic photograph shows the building had cast iron decorative lace around the extensive verandah, with patterns very similar or identical in design to some other notable early buildings in Adelaide (see Attachment E). Only the decorative lace on the balcony remains. The building structure is generally very sound and highly attractive, although in need of restoration including painting and the replacement of some external timbers. Interior has many decorative features; incl uding grand staircase, arched doorways, stained glass, pressed iron ceilings, plasterwork, etc; but somewhat degraded and over-painted during institutional use. Internal walls put in place during the building's institutional phase are non-structural and would be easily removed. The surrounding grounds have received minimal maintenance; but the situation, aspect and appearance of the building and grounds, adjacent to Lochend House and overlooking the State Government-initiated Lochiel Park model green village development and the River Torrens, is striking. The foundations of a circular fountain facing the front steps of the building are clearly visible.

May possibly be under consideration for develo ment. Name of Builder: Baker & Humbley Any other information: Newspaper advertisements in 1876 and 1877 show that the architect was Daniel Garlick. He sought tenders to build a residence, "Lochine Park", in Campbelltown, and advised that plans were available. The Register announced its completion on 1 January 1878 as follows: "Mr D. Mundy has had a very handsome villa residence erected at Lochin Park, which has a fi ne commanding appearance, and is provided with every convenience. It is surrounded by a spaci ous ornamental verandah, and has a lookout on the roof. The contractors were Messrs. Baker & Humbley, and the cost amounted to about £3,000. ... Mr. D. Garlick was the architect." C. History 6. Origins and history Years of Construction: Start: 1876 Finish: 1877 Name of Designer I Architect: Daniel Garlick, the eminent and prolific designer of several of South Australia's prominent colonial buildings, many of which already have State Heritage status. Described as "one of the colony's most notable architects" and "one of the fathers of South Australian architecture and also of the South Australian Institute of Architects" (in Michael Page, Sculptors in Space: South Australian Architects 1836-1986, 1986). Page3 SA Heritage Register Nomination form History of the nominated place or object: The Friends of Lochiel Park, the Campbelltown Historical Society, and other researchers have assembled a wealth of information about the history of the building and its eminent and very interesting residents. A summary of this information is in Attachment A. It should be emphasised that this dwelling relates intimately to State Heritage-registered “Lochend” which is part of the same Section originally owned by Charles James Fox Campbell and sold in turn to James Scott, David Mundy, Jonah Hobbs, and the Department of Children’s Welfare and its successors. Lochend has been restored by the City of Campbelltown, with generous funding from the Federal and State governments and support from the Campbelltown Historical Society and a number of other local organisations. Together, Lochend and Lochiel Park House provide an eloquent representation of the historical origins, economy, and culture of the wider Campbelltown and north-east Adelaide region, centred on the fertile river flats in the valley of the River Torrens; from the first years of colonial settlement to the present day. Their presence adjoining the government-sponsored and award-winning Lochiel Park green village, and its surrounding gardens and wetlands on the south bank of the Torrens, forms an extensive and important historical and environmental precinct which is unique and of State-level significance. The importance of the view lines between Lochiel Park House and Lochend, and its inclusion within the Lochiel Park precinct, is indicated by the maps on pages 4 and 5 of Attachment B depicting the Lochiel Park Lands. The development also includes, appropriately, an aboriginal sculpture garden (Bulto Ityangga Traces) acknowledging the Kaurna heritage of this area.

Page 4 D. Heritage Significance 7. Statement of State Significance· Why is the place or object important to South Australia? It is of State level heritage significance because: 1. It has a contiguous location and shared history with State Heritage-registered Lochend House. and a shared boundary with the innovative and successful State-sponsored and funded Lochiel Park model green village. Together these three major sites form a continuous historical, cultural and environmental precinct and were all part of a single agricultural and horticultural landscape. They were all, in fact, part of a single property - Lochiel Park - that remains essentially intact from the earliest period of European settlement to the present day. Lochiel Park House is an integral part of this landscape historically and geographically. In terms of protection and preservation it is the remaining piece of the jigsaw puzzle that has yet to be secured for the future. 2. Even in its unrestored state Lochiel Park House it is a well-preserved and structurally-intact building, designed by a renowned and acclaimed architect of South Australia's early colonial period, many of whose extant buildings already have State Heritage listing.
