Dancker waived his fee for the South Adelaide Creche (City of Adelaide Heritage Register and State Heritage Register),which although now demolished, once stood in Gouger Street, Adelaide (AHPI). It opened in 1896 and it has been suggested that the building was designed on the lines of a doll’s house. Especially since ‘A doll’s house owned by Dancker was on display at the opening of the Creche’ (AHPI). The Creche provided office space for the Secretary, living accommodation for the Matron and a dining/play room, dormitory and cot room below (AHPI).

Architect NameDancker, Fredrick William
