House at 378 South Terrace

This one-storied house known as South Terrace House with its characteristic porch was designed by Sir George Kingston for Edward Wright junior in 1857. Only two houses certainly from Kingston’s drawing board survive unchanged in the city mile (South Adelaide); the other is Ayers House at 288 North Terrace.

Work done to restore the property as a private home in the late 1960’s was an early example of  a trend to renewed interest in city living after the drift to the suburbs that characterised most of the twentieth century.
