Reason for delisting

Carew House has an association with the winery as a functioning business, being located on the same land parcel as the winery buildings. It is known to have been built for Carew Reynell, a third generation member of the Reynell family, and someone who would have been expected to enter into the business, following his grandfather and father. However other than its siting adjacent the grounds, there is nothing about the dwelling that clearly demonstrates any historical, economic or social themes that represent the wine production business, or evidence its importance to the local area. It is physically removed from the core of the winery complex, and does not demonstrate clear themes simply as a result of having been built for a Reynell family member. The important themes of the development of the winery, and its role in the establishment of the local district, are also well evidenced in the collection of buildings already entered in the South Australian Heritage Register, including the original Reynell residence.

Unfortunately, there is insufficient verified historical evidence at this time, to explain the later modifications and extensions to the house, which raise some questions as to their purpose. The two storey addition was possibly added to increase the 'grandeur' of the single storey (albeit of a large scale roof form) house, and to present a more formal frontage to Panalatinga Road, however the single room depth, misalignment of floor levels between the two sections, and incongruous staircase that occupies a central space in the original house, and does not fit cleanly within that space, are puzzling

The sunken garden and row of pine trees are identified in previous assessments as being established as a memorial to Carew (killed at Gallipoli in 1915) and his son Richard (killed in World War Two in 1940), and a 1949 aerial photograph and arborist evidence would support the trees dating from around the 1940s. The rose garden could also date from this time, however it is difficult to confirm this. The brick arbour to the north of the sunken garden appears to be constructed with bricks dating from c1970s. Whilst both elements may retain some memorial and sentimental value in the unfortunate deaths of members of the family, the memorial aspect is not strongly legible in the remaining fabric and tree stock.

Reason for delisting

C.1925 (c.1910?) former shop (now commercial premises) of masonry construction with metal panel cladding and faux-masonry to primary elevations. Corrugated iron sheeting to roof. Additions dating to c.1928, extensive additions dating after 2003. Since previous assessment in 2003, the building’s heritage fabric has been severely compromised by extensive development on the site.

Heritage significance

4 Oval Road, Old Reynella is of significance as a good example of a c.1915 symmetrical cottage of low-scale, rectilinear form with Victorian stylistic influences; the key characteristics of the primary historical built forms of the Old Reynella Historic Area Statement. The residence is a verified work of builder Henry Martin Jones (1869-1928), who is understood to be an important local builder for the Old Reynella district in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Extent of listing

The extent of listing includes the form and materials of all surviving masonry fabric to the c.1915 residence and c.1920s additions including all external walls, quoins, surrounds and dressings, chimneys and window & door openings. Surviving early timber window and door elements are considered of significance and included in the listing. The form of the hipped and gabled roof is considered of significance, as is the use of corrugated steel as the roof cladding material. Current replacements elements are considered stylistically appropriate but are not historic fabric and are not included in the listing.
