This Old English style house was built around 1936 for contracting company manager Robert S. Harry in the popular Glen Lyon Gardens Estate at Ashgrove. Built during Ashgrove’s residential building boom, this picturesque house makes a fine contribution to the surrounding streetscape and is a good example of this style of interwar domestic architecture.
