    I love the shadows of the camera and bowler hatted photographer bottom left.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    No Longer Standing, I think. Here is the 6" Cassini map showing the hotel (1930s), and a modern Google maps aerial shot showing quarry sheds here.

    The (railway) company built a hotel at Recess, where King Edward VII and his party lunched in July 1903, during his tour of the congested districts of the West. Over the years the company advertising paid off, and the rich and famous came to Connemara to shoot and fish.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Per the DIA in 1897: The Recess hotel is now far advanced. The greater part of it had to be taken down and re-built. We are doing the whole work under the superintendence of Mr O'Neill, our own engineer. We have no architect for it, and from what I can learn I think it is going on just as well as if we had an architect.

    O Mac Lol!! That is SO quick!! Well done!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    O Mac From that wiki page, possible Headmasters at this time were: (1860 – 1870) Alex Waugh Young was CAI's founding principal and very little is known of him. (1870 – 1915) Thomas Galway Houston, OBE, MA, FRSAI Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland served the school for 45 years, enjoying a long retirement in Portstewart until his death in 1939 at the age of 96. Houston served as a member of the Senate in the Stormont Parliament for Queen's University, Belfast.

    Niall McAuley In a sizeable advertisement for the school, it says A.W. Young had a B.A. and was Andrews’ Scholar, University College, London. Otherwise, detail on him is proving elusive in the newspapers. (Belfast Newsletter, 6 August 1860) ETA: Found another snippet "… late Carpenter and Travers scholar, B.A. of the University of London, and Andrew scholar of University College {London] has lately been appointed Principal…" (London City Press, 10 March 1860) And Mr Young was elected a Fellow of University College London in 1867. (London City Press)
