Retrieved 23 May 2009 In 1913 the leasehold was transferred to The Commonwealth of Australia, however it was not until 1922 that the freehold was also acquired. From 1913 (and thus throughout World Wars I and II) ''Tresco'' was the official residence of the Flag Officer-in-Charge of the Royal Australian Navy.[ The property only underwent minor changes during the naval presence. Alterations included the reconfiguration of bedrooms to the main house, rooms to the south and garage, enclosure of the north verandah, and installation of plasterboard ceilings to the ground floor rooms of the main house.][ In 1988 the management of Tresco passed to the Defence Housing Authority, of the Department of Defence.

The site works included, the stabilization of rock overhangs and retaining walls, and improvements to site drainage. Works to the house included repairs to the roof and stonewalls, the repair or reinstatement of many of the original internal finishes and fittings. New bathrooms were also installed at this time.][

Description
Site
The [Macken, 2017, 4.] site is located to the northern end of Elizabeth Bay Road, Elizabeth Bay. It is a wedge-shaped site, occupying a prominent position on Macleay Point sloping down towards Elizabeth Bay. The site is bound on the south by a high stonewall to Elizabeth Bay Road. Both the east and west boundaries are bounded by early brick walls, and towards the Bay are dominated by tall modern apartment buildings.[
The site has impressive waterfront facilities and a tidal swimming pool.][
]
Garden
A terraced garden to the north of ''Tresco'' slopes down to the harbour. The garden features a tall timber mast and a well landscaped and established garden, including four mature fig trees. There is the summerhouse and fernery at the western boundary, as well as concrete and brick pathways, which lead down to the bay, and the former boat pound, boathouse, and jetty.[
''Tresco'' including its grounds and trees is significant as a substantially intact example of a Victorian waterfront villa and estate. The original Italianate style villa was designed by prominent architect, Thomas Rowe (1867) with later additions by George Westgarth, including garden layout and landscape elements (1883). The property was the principal residence of the Captain-in-Charge of HMAS Naval Establishments in Sydney from 1903 and the Flag Officer-in-Charge of the Royal Australian Navy since 1913. ''Tresco'' has further significance in terms of its historic, cultural and social links with the original land grant to Alexander Macleay. From the 1820s period until subdivision in 1867, the grounds were part of Macleay's Elizabeth Bay House estate. ''Tresco'' remains as one of the few surviving original land parcels dating from this time of subdivision by George Macleay.][

Two of the figs are in the lower harbour-side terrace near the northern and southern boundaries. The third is on the north-eastern upper garden terrace near the villa. This latter fig has a massive, dense canopy. All are between 120 and 140 years old. The carob bean is in the western (upper front) garden adjacent to the ]sandstone

and northern boundary, it is also 120–140 years old, a small stunted tree that appears to be in decline.[
The Moreton Bay fig on the upper north-east facing terrace is a magnificent tree and one of the most outstanding individual specimens to occur on private property within the City of Sydney local government area. It is significant within the local government area as an individual specimen with special aesthetic, visual, cultural, historical, and social values. It has achieved massive proportions and its canopy completely dominates the upper eastern terrace lawns of ''Tresco''. It is a particularly prominent specimen in this elevated location on Macleay Point and is visible from many public vantage points around Rushcutters Bay. The other two figs are much smaller and may be associated with later foreshore reclamation works to the property. Nevertheless, these two figs have group significance within the overall composition.][
It is believed that the largest fig, carob bean and bull bay / evergreen magnolia are the last surviving remnants from the former gardens of the Elizabeth Bay House estate (on this site).][Landarc, 2005, 323-4] The carob bean / St. John's bread plant has been grown in Sydney since 1828 (Botanic Gardens) and was available in nursery lists from William Macarthur at Camden Park from 1843.[https://www.hht.net.au/ research /colonial plants database ] It was often planted in churchyards and large church-owned estates in the colony. It is now relatively uncommon in the City of Sydney local government area.[Landarc, 2005, 324] The bull bay / evergreen magnolia was recorded as "received at Elizabeth Bay" (house estate) in a list of plants from Camden Park (William Macarthur) in 1836.[ It was a highly prized ornamental tree in the 19th century, and remains a relatively common element of large former gardens throughout the City of Sydney local government area.][

Heritage listing
As at 12 September 2008, ''Tresco'' has National significance for its role as the principal residence of the Captain-in-Charge of HMA Naval Establishments in Sydney from 1903 and as the residence of the Flag Officer-in-Charge of the Royal Australian Navy since 1913.[
Tresco has State significance as a Victorian villa in the Italianate style which retains its architectural integrity as an intact and rare example of the fine residences that once characterised Macleay Point. It is significant as an example of craftsmanship and construction techniques used in the mid to late nineteenth century and recent conservation and restoration works (1991-1997). The house garden and waterfront structures make an important contribution to the character of the area, forming a prominent element in the landscape of Elizabeth Bay from the Harbour.][
The property is associated with prominent Sydney architect Thomas Rowe and George Wesgarth. Rowe designed and constructed the original house in 1867 and Wesgarth was responsible for the only significant additions and alterations - the garden layout and landscape elements in 1883. It is also associated with ]George Macleay

on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.[
The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales.
Tresco is of State historical significance as one of the few surviving original land parcels created in the 1867 subdivision of the Elizabeth Bay Estate at MacLeay Point. Many of the other parcels were further subdivided in the 20th century, as a reflection of the high land values of the locality. This Estate was subdivided and sold on a leasehold basis, the freehold title being retained by James Macarthur-Onslow. This is thought to be an unusual form of real estate development for the period.][
Tresco, its early gardens and features such as the Boat Pound, was one of the first buildings to be constructed after the 1867 subdivision, and survives intact as a rare example of the fine houses built on the subdivided land, most of which have subsequently been demolished. it is therefore one of the few properties in the locality which is able to demonstrate the nature of residential development on prime Harbour front land, as the original large estates were broken up in the later decades of the 19th century.][
The place has a strong or special association with a person, or group of persons, of importance of cultural or natural history of New South Wales's history.
''Tresco'' is of State significance for its association with the prominent Sydney architect Thomas Rowe, initial leaseholder of the property, who designed and constructed the original building in 1867. ''Tresco'' is of State significance as the principal residence of the Captain-in-Charge of H.M.A. Naval establishments in Sydney from 1903, and as the residence of the Flag Officer-in-Charge of the Royal Australian Navy since 1913.][
The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.
Tresco has aesthetic significance at State level, as a large and impressive mid to late 19th century two storey sandstone villa, in the Victorian Italianate style, which retains its early architectural integrity. The aesthetic significance is reinforced by its prominent setting high on the ridgeline above a fine and extensive waterfront garden, which provides a superb outlook over the inner reaches of ]Sydney Harbour

The building has a high level of social significance for personnel of the Royal Australian Navy for its role as the principal residence of the Navy, and the official residence of the Flag Officer-in-Charge of the Royal Australian Navy.][
The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.
''Tresco'' has scientific significance for its ability to reveal the quality and complexity of 19th century joinery, plasterwork detailing and colour schemes, in addition to its general construction. While such construction is not unique in Sydney, ''Tresco'' is a fine example of craftsmanship and residential construction techniques used in the 19th century.][ The Boat Pound has scientific significance as a rare survivor, and for its ability t demonstrate construction techniques of late 19th century waterfront structures.][ ''Tresco'', its outbuildings, gardens and landscape elements have scientific significance as good examples of conservation and restoration works undertaken in the late 20th century.][Brooks, 1997.]
The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.
