Wavertree, the historic mansion at 64 North Terrace, is a cornerstone of South Australia’s cultural and architectural heritage. Built between 1865 and 1866, it showcases Victorian-era craftsmanship with intricate ironwork and grand windows, symbolizing 19th-century Adelaide’s affluence. Over the past 160 years, Wavertree has evolved alongside the city.

 

Notable residents include Sir Frederick Holder, twice Premier of South Australia and a key figure in Australia’s Federation, who leased the mansion from 1901 until his death in 1909. Following Holder, the property became Parkin Theological College in 1910 and later, in the 1980s, home to Pepper Studios, a hub for television production and Adelaide’s creative renaissance.
