Deasland, Historic homestead in Ginninderra, Australian Capital Territory
The six-room timber homestead featured verandahs, an iron roof, and a brick dairy, standing on 685 acres of farmland until 2022.
George Harcourt commissioned the construction of Deasland between 1890 and 1893, naming it after a farm in Worcestershire where his parents married.
The property became a center for agricultural development under Henry Curran's management, setting national records for wool prices in the 1940s and 1950s.
Located at coordinates -35.195279, 149.088977 along the Barton Highway, the site marked the northern development of Canberra until its demolition.
Despite its heritage status and structural importance, Deasland met its end in 2022 due to asbestos contamination after 129 years of existence.
