caption_attribution_description: English: Entrance porch of The Grange, Soldiers Hill, Ballarat, Victoria, Australia
context_page_description: The Grange was an historic home, located at 804 or 808 Lydiard Street North, Soldiers Hill, Victoria in the gold rush City of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. The house no longer exists, and the only indication of its existence is an eponymous court development where the subdivided property is now occupied by houses and townhouses.
  Soldiers Hill, which was named after the Colonial Forces of Australia stationed there prior to the Eureka Rebellion in 1854, was one of the first planned suburbs of Ballarat and was considered one of Ballarat's premier addresses. Soldiers Hill "...has a substantially intact Victorian era architectural character, with many of its buildings featuring an abundance of period detail including distinctive decorative cast iron ornament."
  The Grange was weatherboard, built on brick piers standing on large bluestone foundations. It featured decorative scalloped woodwork along the eaves; decorative lattice on the entrance porch; extensive lattice work on the verandah, which stretched across the northern and western sides of the house; and a slate roof.

The house had five bedrooms, a "middle room" which had a variety of uses, and a "breakfast room" which was the dining room and the place the family gathered. The formal lounge room was used as a "receiving room’ rather than somewhere that had general family use.
  Separate to the house was a stand-alone building known as the "groom’s room". There was no indication of stables or other facilities for horses when the Darling family moved there in 1908.
