Who lived in your street? John McVey Baird and family of 268 Glebe Point Road

Posted on 30th May 2024

Members of the Baird family lived at today’s 268 Glebe Point Road for over seven decades. Their house called Eglinton was demolished in 1968 and home units now cover the site. The present building next door at Number 270 dates from 1891, replacing another which was Eglinton’s twin. The history of the occupation of Eglinton is fascinating.
