Agincourt - Albert Road Strathfield
Agincourt was built in c. 1891 and was designed by architect Harry Chambers Kent, who also designed the Strathfield Town Hall. It was the former home of pharmacist Washington H. Soul, who built his own Masonic Lodge in 1922 at the rear of Agincourt facing Beresford Road. The property is now recognised as Jesmond Nursing Home.
