TREVADLOCK (formerly HURSTCLIFF)
This house was designed by H. Baker and Masey in 1903 for
Richard Alan Barry and his wife Gladys (van der Byl). Barry
was born in Kimberl[e]y in 1874, educated mainly in England
before arriving in Johannesburg in 1893, working initially at
Robinson Mine and later at West Rand Mines, becoming
Chief Surveyor.
He served with Marshall's Horse during the Anglo-
Boer War, ending as a Lieutenant. He received the
Queen's Medal with five clasps. He then
continued in Johannesburg as a mining
engineer.
