Easton's Barn is a State Heritage Place within the Onkaparinga Council district, which now forms a major feature in the Easton's Barn Reserve.
The barn was probably constructed in the 1850's-60's by Daniel Easton a bricklayer and mason who arrived in South Australia in 1840 and lived from 1842 on Section 734 (now Gosse Road). He was well known for constructing round topped barns and underground water tanks in the district.
Easton built many structures in the Morphett Vale area including 'Doctors House' (1866) and buildings at 'Glenheath' and 'Thrushgrove'. This barn was part of 'Melville Farm' which belonged to James Bain and later his son Robert. The descendants of Daniel Easton have held reunions in the barn and launched the Easton Family history book there on 2 October 1994. A large stone from Section 734 has been set up in the grounds and a plaque on the stone was unveiled on 15 May 1992 commemorating Daniel Easton's life and work.
