About The Pines and Speen
The Pines stands on land that has been through various owners beginning with Lewis Gordon in 1836 and becoming part of the 1855 Glades Ville Estate.
Edwin Robert Mackenzie who resided at Woodstone, now 39-41 Wharf Road, reputedly built The Pines and the adjacent house, Speen, 36 Ashburn Place, for his two daughters in the early 1890s. The Pines was first occupied by Mabel Dalrymple Mackenzie.
Constructed of sandstone, it is a fine example of a single-storey dwelling from the late 19th-century and is situated within a large, landscaped setting, now partly screened from Wharf Road. It has been substantially modified in the 20th century.
In the 1860s, the Mackenzie family held grazing property in New England, and it seems that they retired to Gladesville. Edwin Robert Mackenzie died in 1896 and the properties at Gladesville were held in trust for his widow, Emma Louisa Mackenzie. After her death in 1907, the property remained in her name until 1923. Her son-in-law resided at The Pines until 1908, then moved into Woodstone.
