Alexander Walter Scott (AWS) GREGG

Gregg resided at ‘Dunisla’ The Crescent Homebush.  ‘Dunisla’ has been demolished but the gates are still standing.   

Gregg was a partner in the real estate agency Richardson & Wrench.  Gregg commenced employment with Richardson and Wrench as a clerk but later became a partner.  After the retirement of founders Robert Richardson (c.1827-1900) and Edward Wrench (1828-1893), he and his brother James became the principles of the firm and converted the firm into a public company. 

Gregg was also a prominent land owner in early Homebush.  He married Irene Chatfield McKenzie at St James, Burwood, NSW on 12 March 1914.  He died in 1915.
