Estcourt House is significant as the home of Frederick Estcourt Bucknall, who played an important part in South Australian history. Bucknall invested in land, brewing, and hotels. He was involved in the development of the Henley Beach and Grange townships and the construction of their jetties. He also planned to develop the upper reaches of the Port River as a harbour by cutting an access canal through the sandhills alongside Estcourt House to the sea. He was instrumental in establishing what is now the Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron. He was a Parliamentarian 1881-1884 and Mayor of Hindmarsh Corporation 1881-1883. |
