Summary

'Carclew', on Strangways Terrace, North Adelaide. Carclew occupies the site of the residence of James Chambers, built around 1840. The McDouall Stuart exploring expedition started from this property on 25th October, 1861, on its successful crossing of the Australian continent. After Chambers' death in 1862, the property was acquired by Sir Hugh Dixson, a wealthy businessman, who demolished the original building. It was replaced by this Federation style house in 1897 (inspired by the German Rhine castles), and named 'Stalheim'. It was sold in 1908 to Sir Langdon Bonython, and renamed 'Carclew'.
