Summerfield Lutheran School - a photo on Flickriver

            Built 1904. 

Summerfield/Tepko locality.
Summerfeldt was settled in the early 1870s as German farmers flocked down from Lobethal to the drier eastern plains. This land had been held under pastoral lease by John Baker of Terlinga. His leases covered the area from the eastern foothills of the Mt Lofty Ranges to the Murray River. Communities began with a Lutheran school and church, the two important pillars of the German Lutheran communities. The Lutheran School opened in Summerfeldt in 1874 in a dual purpose school/church building. In 1881 the government leased the room for a public school but the church community ran the school. In 1905 the government built the current school classroom next to the church. In 1917 the name of the school was changed to Summerfield when all German place names were changed. The school serviced the township of Tepko as well but in 1964 a school bus service to Murray Bridge began and in 1967 the school closed.
