| 説明 | As a suburb Grange was developed from 1877 by a group of investors. Spence, Harvey and Murray formed the Grange Land Investment Company in 1878 which later became the Grange Railway Investment Company. They subdivided the former lands of Charles Sturt and built the Grange jetty in 1878. Some of the streets of their suburb of Grange were Sturt St; Surrey and Kent Streets etc. But land sales were slow. Not until a horse tram service began in 1882 did suburban plots begin to sell. Also in 1882 the Grange Railway Investment Company began a narrow gauge railway from Woodville to Grange. That was when the company built eight (out of a planned twenty) three storey marine town houses on the esplanade at Grange named The Marines. Each contained eleven rooms and cost over £1,000. Arthur Harvey one of the developers purchased the first Marines terrace house in 1883. But that was not very successful either as they were so expensive. In 1886 the government took over the railway to Grange. The Grange Railway Investment Company then went into liquidation and most of the Grange lands from Sturt were re-offered for sale and this time conditions were right for the suburb to develop. Some of the pre 1886 structures in Grange were the Baptist Church (1885), the Grange Hotel (1882), the Anglican Church on land donated by the Grange Railway Investment Company. Construction of it began in 1885 and it opened in that year but was not completed until 1901. |
