• ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
  
  Glenyarrah, a two-storey Gothic Revival residence also known as Seaford House or Gladswood, was probably built by Samuel Deane Gordon sometime between 1860 and 1864. Gordon lived in the residence until his death in 1882. The Woollahra History & Heritage Society, however, date the house to 1856, noting that under Gordon's occupation it was called Seaford House, which was changed to Glenyarrah during the stay of Mr T. H. Kelly Snr. and family (1883-1913). Other evidence, including tender notices, indicate that the building was named Glenyarrah by Gordon as early as 1864. Thomas Hussey Kelly purchased the lease of Glenyarrah in 1887, eventually buying the freehold in May 1901, three months before he died. Following Kelly's death, the building remained in the family, occupied by his son Thomas Herbert Kelly. The property was sold in 1913 to John Spencer Brunton, after which the name of the property was changed to Gladswood.
