Summary

Milbrook Hotel - demolished and covered by the Millbrook Reservoir. In 1908 the proprietors were JF Fitzgerald and Albert William Seppelt. The reservoir was built from 1914 to 1918 during World War I to control water flows in the Upper River Torrens and to provide gravity fed water to Adelaide's eastern suburbs. Before its inundation the town of Millbrook was a thriving community situated on a creek of the same name. The majority of the inhabitants were gardeners, poultry farmers, woodcarvers. Gold, copper and lead were to be found in the area.
