'At Upper Sturt'

'At Upper Sturt'

A house at Upper Sturt which has an iron roof and verandah partially obscured by bush and pine trees. It has been identified as being located on the southern side of Upper Sturt Road, between Olave Hill Road and Hilltop Drive. The original owner of the property where the house now stands was Henry Woodcock, agent, of Adelaide. He bought two large properties on 22 October 1912, together about 200 acres. The house stands on a small portion of that. On 15 June 1914, Woodcock transferred portion of the block containing 2 acres to Henry Lawson. That portion was then transferred to John Thomas Watts, Gardener, on 17 February 1915. The Watts' family home is pictured in the photograph and still stands at 215 Upper Sturt Road. After being transferred a number of times, on 16 August 1954 the land was transferred to Joseph Buhagiar, Carpenter. The family lived there for some years and the children attended the original Upper Sturt Primary School.
