| 説明 | Estcourt House Grange. Frederick Estcourt Bucknall, who owned most of the land which became the suburbs of Grange and Tennyson, built a mansion for his family in 1883 at a cost of around £12,000. The family of nine children needed a large house and Bucknall selected a site on the sand dunes overlooking the beach. He named it after himself as Estcourt House. Bucknall fell on hard times with his business ventures and the house was sold in 1886. Then in 1892 the James Brown Memorial Trust bought the house. James Brown was an early pastoralist in the Avenue Range in the South East of South Australia. The clean air movement was at its height at that time and the mansion was purchased to take advantage of the sea breezes and fresh air with French windows from most of the rooms onto the encircling verandas. The James Brown Memorial Trust acquired the mansion for housing for the elderly and for children with disabilities. From 1931 it became a convalescent home for children only especially those suffering Tuberculosis, polio and the like and the Education Department assigned a teacher to Estcourt House for the education of the children. In 1955 it was taken over the Adelaide Children’s Hospital and later Strathmont Centre and finally it became a nursing home. Estcourt House finally closed in 1989. It has since been sold and the gardens and lands around the house have been subdivided for luxury esplanade housing. |
