Summary

"Vale House", Lansdowne Terrace, Walkerville, once occupied by the Levi Family. Vale House is Adelaide's earliest surviving substantial residence. It was built in the first five years of white settlement in South Australia. The house was occupied by several early colonists including Captain Edward Frome and William Clark. In 1853 it purchased by Philip Levi. During the following 96 years of ownership by the Levi family Vale House was the centre of social activity for Adelaide gentry. This photograph taken in 1948 shows the house in an overgrown garden with a car parked near the verandah
