Summary

[General description] Front of Karratta House, Robe. It is a substantial stone mansion which was built by pastoralist Henry Jones in 1860, looking out over Lake Butler (in the foreground). It was subsequently renovated and used as a holiday house by Sir James Ferguson, Governor of South Australia in the 1870s. It appears to be undergoing work in this photograph as one end section and a verandah have been demolished. Later was owned and again renovated (c. 1900) by Henry Dutton of Anlaby.
