Related Information
Ellerslie is an unusual, interesting and well-detailed house which has undergone a number of changes but retains a fine presence particularly to its Robert Street front. It was purchased by a family from Glasgow as a summer residence, who added the two northernmost bays to accommodate a music room for entertainments. The next owner, Mr Mackenzie, ran a boarding house at Ellerslie, and sold this on to the Goodwin sisters. The Strachan family purchased the house in 1950 and subsequently installed the west (Robert St.) door, and carried out the conversion to two flats. At that time there were large fireplaces in every room, that to the dining room being of marble.
