The area was the site of Adelaide's first vineyard, (Planted by
John Barton
Hack.)

An internal door lintel is a recycled vine post! (it was common
practice for the pioneers to use building materials that were readily available).
B. Hack owned 12 town acres which he named Chichester Gardens in memory
of the area in England from where he immigrated . Hack also operated
a brick-kiln in Melbourne Street. Limestone is abundant to the area. and
used as the prominent building material of Chichester Gardens Cottage.
During restoration in 1989 the original paving around the house was unearthed
constructed of river pebbles. (Most likely from the nearby Torrens River).
The Adelaide Council raised Stanley street to eliminate a natural dip!
This action resulted in newer paving being constructed over the pebbles
and at a higher level.
The east facing loft was used for a storage area and has a timber floor.
The timber roofing shingles still exist under the corrugated iron sheeting.
