The design is influenced by the neo-Gothic of pattern-book style which is ere popular in the 19th Century. (Adelaide city council, NINA). In addition, the other website also identifies the reason why the house has been built and some simple development of the house changes later. For instance, the house was bought by Thomas Richard Bowman in 1873. These common introduction of the building gives me a good beginning to understand this heritage site(Gibbs, 1994). The next step is to have more detailed and deeper research for the heritage building. Following by the deeper research in the heritage. The information became less and less.
And the information is became incompatible from source to source. A website stated that a billiard room added in 1890 and then been demolished in the redevelopment of the hospital in 1989(Legacy club of Adelaide, 1945). While there is another book to stated that the billiard room is still exist. However, since there is no more detail information to support the billiard room is still exist (Arthur Foss, 1989). It would probably suggested that the billiard room had been demolished. In order to ensure the accuracy of research. But there is also some information has been collected by compare the consistency from sources.
The reason for the expanding of SST Andrews Hospital is because the hospital board bought Wavered and the land where surrounds it at public action for E105000. Two years later the Wavered house had been renovated as well as used for a nurses’ training school. However, the Wavered house had the good order maintaining(Arthur Foss, 1989). The difficulty is hard to overcome during the research process. It is so difficult to find out the construction and design details. All the results that I collected so far can only introduce the Wavered house as well as its old coach house is mainly made of brick.
And the coach house was transformed to hospital chapel in 1989(Dickey, Brian 1997). Even though some temporal newspapers had some news about SST Andrews Hospital. Most of the news were Just the birth identify or birth records of children(Australian Medical Association, 1928). However, the research should not mainly rely on the secondary sources though is the most easy and quickly way for you to research . It is important to research the information by using the primary sources such as book, Journals and newspaper to ensure the reliability. By comparing the consistency between them can also increase the accuracy.
Failure will always happen during the research. The only way to overcome it is try to use different sources to investigate deeper and deeper, and also try to solve the problem with diverse ideology.
