Elder Mews cottages are the remaining 13 of a building project financed by Sir Tomas Elder to upgrade the standard of housing for Adelaide workmen. Commencing in 1899, 48 cottages of similar design were constructed. As a result of pressure by conservationists 13 cottages were saved from demolition in 1973 with restoration being completed in 1974.

The cottages are privately owned and maintained by the owners with a registered small cooperative which represents the owners’ common interests.

The Elder Mews cottages are historically significant as they are the first cottages built by the Adelaide Workmen’s Homes. The Adelaide Workmen’s Homes is an institution created as a result of a bequest by Sir Thomas Elder in 1898. The Adelaide Workmen’s Homes is still providing rental accommodation in South Australia.

I liked the Sex Pistols but the Clash, in their paint-spattered clothes, sounded particularly great. It was the first time I saw a band and thought: “That could be me up there.”
