St Andrew's Hospital Chapel from 1989: in the coach house built for Waverley House. Adelaide South Australia
This chapel was originally a coach house servicing Waverley House.
Its conversion to a Chapel in 1989 was made possible as a result of a bequest from the estate of Edith Louise Tucker, Strathalbyn, South Australia, who passed away on 16 November 1985.
Pastoralist and merchant William Sanders erected Waverley House and its coach house in 1865, to the design of architect James Macgeorge – James Farr was the builder who was also responsible for erecting several of the best buildings in the city.
In partnership with Robert Miller, Sanders developed a business into the store of Miller Anderson, Hindley Street.
Sanders moved from Waverley House in 1873, to a seaside residence at Glenelg where he lived until his death in 1880.
Edgar Chapman was the second owner of the house.
Thomas Richard Bowman was the third owner of the house.
He was the last survivor of the famous South Australian pastoralist Bowman brothers – he died at Waverley House in 1911.
St Andrew's Private Hospital, Adelaide, was opened in 1936 - an initiative of Mrs Janet Hay, the owner and Director of Nursing. In 1947 the privately owned hospital - and the land on which the present hospital stands - were bought by the Presbyterian Church of South Australia and renamed St Andrew's Presbyterian Hospital.
With the inauguration of the Uniting Church in 1977, the hospital's constitution was changed and the affairs of St Andrew's was vested in the Board of Governors instead of the church authority. Subsequently the hospital's name was changed by deletion of the word "Presbyterian".
St Andrew’s Hospital has provided medical and surgical excellence to South Australians for over 80 years.
Waverley House was a Hostel opened by the Legacy Club of Adelaide in 1946. It provided accommodation for the children of deceased servicemen who were attending school and apprenticeships in the city.
In 1964 the house closed when children from there were moved to the Gurney Street (Dulwich) Legacy Hostels.
St Andrew’s Hospital took ownership of Waverley House in 1964: the hospital and house being on adjacent land.
