‘Heritage home set to be spared from demolition’. The official report before Charles Sturt Council at that January 2019 meeting recommended that a bid to demolish the 135-year-old Tennyson mansion be rejected.

Saving old Grange Primary School Jim Douglas and Richard Smith
The old Grange Primary School, which developed from very modest beginnings in 1880 with 25 pupils in rented accommodation, is located on the northern side of Jetty Street and was constructed in 1885, with teaching beginning the following year. Over the years, the school was expanded on a number of occasions and temporary buildings were also added. Old Grange Primary School (State Library of South Australia archive)
