The space Was bought, restored and added to North Adelaide Heritage Group collection in June 2001. Stanley Cottage was built in 1880.

They were essentially for aged and poor widows. Externally the cottage remains remarkably original, complemented to the west by cottages of similar scale & detailing. The extent and nature of these rows is reminiscent of ‘Almshouses', such rows rarely found in South Australia. Typical Twiss touches are used aesthetically as well as practically, such as a real wall mounted wooden propeller blade from a bi-plane, substantial collectors Tasmanian Huon pine chest of eight drawers and robe, Ariston Hi-tech washer/dryer, large flat screen TV, a museum condition, 100 year old sea grass sun lounge, gilt mirrors and a selection of exciting large limited edition prints.
