Early life

Ian Geoffrey Hannaford[1] was born on 6 March 1940,[2] to Claude and Vera (née Hoare). He was the eldest of four siblings, the other three being brothers Donald and artist Robert Hannaford, and sister, Kay. He grew up on his family's farm in the Gilbert Valley near Riverton, South Australia, and attended Prince Alfred College in Adelaide for his final two years of high school.[3]

Football

Hannaford played for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the SANFL,[4] retiring at the young age of 24 in order to train as an architect. He was named by The Advertiser as among Port Adelaide's 150 greatest players in the club's first 150 years.[5][2]

Architecture

Hannaford was also an architect, who was responsible for the design of Rundle Mall in 1976, as well as private residences, some of them in modernist style inspired by Mies van der Rohe. He designed the Victor Richardson Gates at Adelaide Oval, as well as apartment buildings and resorts.[5][6]
