Strathfield House
Strathfieldsaye, inspired by the Duke of Wellington’s English home, was built in 1868. It was later known as Strathfield House, and the name was adopted for the new municipality of Strathfield on 2 June 1885. Once occupied by prominent business men, the Strathfield House was demolished in 1957.
