| 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) |

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
