DSC_6609 Adare, 20 Wattle Drive, McCracken, South Australia
The Adare site was bought by Governor Hindmarsh's family in 1837. The Cudmore family bought it in 1891 and made extensive additions which resulted in an impressive layout including 19 rooms, a cellar, tower, balcony and three turrets. The house was completed in 1893 and named "Adare" after the Cudmore family's home in Ireland.
Much of the materials used in the renovation were shipped from England. The Ballroom ceiling features an etched glass skylight.
Mr Cudmore used the tower room as a museum for his many collections.
Since 1954, Adare has been owned by the Uniting Church.
