| 説明 | John Dunn, a pioneer settler of Mount Barker had a lifetime of commitment to the Wesleyans Methodist Church. He arrived in South Australia in 1840 as an experienced flour miller and established a mill (1844) and business in Mount Barker before he acquired other mills across the state from Nairne and Quorn to other small towns. Dunn’s businesses and influence spread across the state. Three of Dunn’s mills are represented in the State Heritage Register: his first at Mount Barker (1844), the Bridgewater Mill (1860) and one at Quorn (1879). The cottage that he built for himself and his family at Mount Barker in 1844 is also entered in the Register as he added extensively to it turning it into an Italianate mansion overlooking Mt Barker. Today the Laurels mansion is it part of a retirement village. Dunn was a religious man and supported the Wesleyans. He provided most of the funding for the fine Wesleyan Methodist Church in Mt Barker in 1884. It is still known as the Dunn Memorial Church which is now a Uniting Church. He was also involved in the establishment of the first Wesleyan church in Mount Barker (the current Church Hall), in the 1850s. Dunn was a benefactor of Mount Barker . He gave the land and a gift of £300 for the Dunn Park Oval; he donated £400 towards the showground and also gave generously to the Institute committee. He had constructed twelve cottages in Mount Barker, known as the Salem Cottages, ‘for indigent widows and spinsters’. |
