Summary

Captain Sturt's house at Grange was his residence from 1840-1853. The brick house is an example of the Early Colonial style in South Australia and was originally known as the "Reedbeds". The house was constructed in two sections set in a fine garden as Sturt was a keen gardener. As President of the Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia Sturt exchanged a variety of native and imported plant species. The house garden and orchard contained typical survival foods for the 1840s. The photograph shows a gentleman standing at the side of the house with a small child standing on the verandah behind him. A brass bedstead can be seen under a lean-to at the end of the verandah and a pram and wheelbarrow are behind the gentleman
