Treagre - Albyn Rd, Strathfield
Treagre was designed by architect George Sydney Jones, the grandson of retailer David Jones. It was built in 1899 and demolished in 1997. The house was described as “a home in a garden”, having a vista of trees, flowers and foliage, which was a prominent feature of homes that were built in Strathfield during that time.
