| Address: | 4 Dublin Road |
|---|---|
| Town or Locality: | Mallala |
| Year constructed: | 1911/01/01 |
| Used for: | Doctor's House |
In 1911 the Mallala residents saw the need of a resident doctor, so land was procured from Mr Ted Pitt. This piece of land faced the recently opened Mallala Peoples Park at what is now 4 Dublin Road. A doctor's house was built there that included a surgery,waiting room and a dispensary opening onto the front verandah. However, Dr Player, the new doctor, never occupied the house as he regarded the position as unsuitable, as the railway was to be constructed adjacent to the house. It has instead always been a private house and it still is in good repair. As a result of the doctors decision, another stone house was built with exactly the same design at 27-29 Aerodrome (Owen) Road and the medical practice was established there.
