Historical information

This house was occupied in 1839 by John Luther Yeates, who arrived in the Bardaster on 22 January 1839 and died 6 weeks later. Described in the Adelaide Assessment Book for 1848 as "Brick buildings and Mannings House with offices, back entrance and outbuildings". According to a researcher, this was also the residence of Mrs. Martha Yeates (nee Barr) on Acre 18, west corner of North Terrace and Stephen Place, Adelaide. Following her husband John Luther Yeates' death in 1839, Martha married William Fairbank in 1842. Fairbank died in the early 1850s but Martha resided in this house until 1854. Around 1854, Martha moved to Stanley Street, North Adelaide occupying a house named "Birkinshaw" until 1864.
