| Registered Name |
Dwelling - 'Grove Hill' |
| Significance |
'Grove Hill' is significant for its assocation with what is probably the oldest surviving commercial orchard in South Australia, and certainly the oldest in continuous operation. The property, owned and managed by Charles Giles and his family from 1846, was also important in the floricultural industry in the state in the 19th century. The numerous buildings on the property, including structures such as the furnace heated hot houses and underground drainage system, reflect the ongoing development and needs of the orchard, and reveal the different functions and technological uses associated with the orchard (HSA, 1/2000). |
