History
The Grange is steeped in history, dating back to the 19th century when Yercaud was being developed as a summer retreat by the British. Originally built by Robert Clive (not confirmed), it served as a summer residence for British officials and planters. Over the years, it has witnessed various owners and transformations, reflecting the changing times. The building's architecture is a testament to the colonial influence on Yercaud, with its sloping roofs, spacious verandas, and sturdy construction. While specific details about its past occupants are scarce, The Grange stands as a tangible link to Yercaud's colonial heritage, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who shaped the region's early development. It is now a private property.
