Using knitlock
construction, this is a larger and more prestigious house than those previously built by the GSDA. It is an 'atrium villa' with a central court (since enclosed) providing the main circulation
space. It was sited with dress circle views over Sailors Bay. Four shops and an estate office
designed by Griffin were erected at the entrance to the Castlecrag Estate.

1929 Sir George S Beeby purchased the Griffin-designed Felstead House (158 Edinburgh Road) and moved to Castlecrag with his family. Beeby had been a leading figure in the rise of the Labor
Party to power in New South Wales, becoming Minister for Labour and Industry in 1910 and introducing a new Industrial Arbitration Act in 1912. He established a centrist Progressive Party
in 1913 and in 1920, he was appointed a judge of the Industrial & Arbitration Court. Beeby was
also a prominent playwright and his interests made him and his family active members of the Castlecrag community. The large living areas of the Felstead House made it a popular meeting place for the community group, Neighbourhood Circle, in the late 1930s and 1940s. Beeby's son, Edward represented Griffin in the Rivett case and his daughter, Doris Isobel, joined the Spanish Relief Movement during the civil war and was a prominent workers' advocate in Australia after the War. She died at Castlecrag in 1948.)
