The charming homestead on 'Glen Avon' which was built by Robert Hart round about
1825 and which is now occupied by his direct descendant, Mr. R.C. Brown, his wife
and family. The house was built of stone and roofed with imported Welsh slate. It has
been restored under the supervision of a well-known Port Elizabeth architect and
furnished with antiques appropriate to the period. A wing has been added to the house
but it is perfectly in keeping with the original structure. The veranda railings are those
put up by Robert Hart. Theyare of iron and are set in lead.
The old Mill at 'Glen Avon', Somerset east must be one of the very few mills of its
type left in South Africa. It is still in working order and is used for grinding wheat and
stock food. The wheat, incidentally, which is grown on 'Glen Avon' is used for baking
the family bread. The mill machiner, which was made in Leeds, England in 1861 and
the grinding stone, whichcame from Scotland and is of Aberdeen granite, were
transported to 'Glen Avon' from Algoa Bay and over the Zuurberg Mountains by ox
wagon some time in the 1800's. The wheel is 20 feet in diameter.
The grave of Robert Hart is on the estate and a Presbyterian church, erected in 1850 is
now used as a coloured school. The estate is about three miles out of Somerset East
