Summary

View of grounds of "St. Serf's", Somerton Park first built by John Whyte in 1853, demolished in 1940. Taken from the western verandah looking west across Tarlton Street towards sandhills. St Serfs stood on the western side of the corner of Tarlton Street and Whyte Street Somerton. The house originally belonged to Mr John and Mrs Louisa Whyte and was one of the oldest houses in Glenelg. His niece Miss Mary (Polly) Bakewell later lived here. She died in 1939. A separate block contained a billiards room, kitchen and coach house. Outside steps led to a look out on top of the coach house. See also B 38034. B 11927. B 11935
