Historical information

The house was designed by Daniel Garlick and built for William Johnston in the mid 1870s. William Johnston was a prominent wine and spirit merchant in Adelaide and was the eldest son of the Johnston's who originally settled Oakbank in the early 1840s. William named his new home 'Davaar' after the island near Cambelltown in Scotland where William originally came from. When William Johnston died in 1879 the house was left to his only child, Janet Love Johnston. Janet and her husband (Dr John Henderson who was also brother to Lady Downer - wife of Sir John Downer) sold the house in the early 1900s before relocating to Crafers.
