Location
When built, it contained twelve rooms, two cellars, and two bathrooms. Two years later, in 1888, Barnard played a game of poker against William Pile, a pastoralist, South Australian horse racing identity, and owner of Albert Hall at number 16 Esplanade. Barnard not only lost the game to Pile, but he also lost his collateral, Stormont.
