| Significance |
The dwelling, known as 'The Park', is one of the few remaining structures relating to the early township of Golden Grove. The limestone house was built for Charles Watson c.1860 within the original Golden Grove township between Ross Road and One Tree Hill Road. On 6 October 1858 Watson, who had been Chairman of the District Council of Highercombe, was elected Chairman of the new Council of Tea Tree Gully when the District of Highercombe was divided into two. In 1853 Watson built the first store at Golden Grove and had become the village's first Postmaster. In February 1862 he acquired Section 5459 of 131 acres (53 hectares) at Golden Grove for 420 pounds. Here, opposite the present store, he built the home where he lived until his death in September 1893 at the age of eighty. (Auhl, 158) |
