Throwback Thursday
Lyndoch Place - 2 Baker Road
Lyndoch Place was built in 1933 and is a great example of the Inter-War Old English style homes. Prominent Bunya Pines were planted once the house was built and are now listed as landmark trees on Council’s Significant Tree Register. This house was later the home of Lancelot Bush, of A J Bush & Sons Pty Ltd. The headquarters of A J Bush & Sons is located in Homebush.
