Thanks Cynthia Wenslow for your research. I wonder if the man whose back is to the camera is Morgan Belmont, the man she married the following month? We'll fill in her name and the date the next time we update the record.

Electric lights - when ?
Fresh flowers - someone made an effort. .

I wonder if that's the St. Patrick's Hospital at Belmont Park, Waterford? A psychiatric hospital and institution run by the Brothers of Charity.

mikeyashworth Could be one of the Brothers in the shadows by the door...

The Belmont Tramway was a short-lived railway in the south-eastern suburbs of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. It was built by the Belmont Shire Council and opened in 1912. Services were suspended several times and the line formally closed in October 1926. The Tramways Act of 1882 gave local councils in Queensland powers to build railways that did not compete with the Queensland Railways. For legal reasons they were considered to be tramways. The construction was proposed in 1909 and the Belmont Shire Council requested an engineering report on the cost of a tramway.[2] The Shire constructed a tramway 4.3 miles (6.9 km) long from a junction on the Cleveland railway line between Norman Park and Morningside. There were passenger shelters at Belmont Junction, Seven Hills, Mount Bruce, City View, Mayfield Road, Carina and stations with goods facilities at Springfield and the terminus at Belmont. The cost of construction was £20,000.[3] The line was originally operated by Queensland Railways until the Shire acquired its own steam tram (Baldwin b/n 35935 of 1911) and three carriages. The maximum speed was 15 mph (24 km/h) with a limit of 10 mph (16 km/h) over the bridges. It was expensive to operate and services were suspended in 1915, at which time the Shire's tram and carriages were sold.[3] The line was reopened due to local agitation and was operated by Queensland Railways on behalf of the Shire until 16 April 1924, when services were again suspended due to the condition of the bridges.[3] The locomotives were permitted to work the line where the A12, A14, B13, B15, and PB15 classes.[3] The line reopened again in April 1925 but the Brisbane City Council, which had absorbed the Shire, was not interested in running the tramway at a loss and it finally closed in October 1926.[3] 664 meters of the trackbed along Old Cleveland Road became part of the Brisbane City Council electric tram route 06 (Valley – Belmont) in 1948.
