It looks like a ski resort, aside from the donkeys and no snow.

Probably somewhere in Donegal given Dr. Clarkes history. An especially interesting photograph with the chains linking the donkeys which I have never seen before though it does make sense. The one poor old ass would find those heavy rocks a great burden going uphill. Some fine beards on display for Movember and some very well shod boys given the era of the image. Would that indicate that it was winter even though the workman is in shirt sleeves? Where is Annie McGinley when you need her?

Odd building. No boxed soffits and low pitch roof. Strange layout too. Church, school, convent?? Three grown men and two asses bringing a rock for a walk.

O Mac Non boxed soffits quite common on buildings of that Victorian/Edwardian era. Also uses less wood so cost saving. It does look ecclesiastical.

If it's in Donegal, it's not heritage. NIAH doesn't seem to have it under any obvious category. Unless the date is post-1920, I suppose.

Well, someone should have had a "working breakfast" with Trump, before his visit, when he suggested Ireland should "build a wall". Does he even read? Does he know anything about world history or Irish history? If so, I doubt he would make such a stupid statement. I provided an education, about Ireland, deep within the US gov't., more than 35 years ago . . . AND, I just didn't care what they thought of "being told". They have a very narrow view of the world. With regard to your photo, I have a question. Where is the dog? I see a bowl in the corner, beside the fireplace framing. One member with the moustache looks similar to Arthur Griffith.

Man on right: "Will yiz ever put away those darn phones and lets have a dacent conversation"

Could that possibly be Michael Collins on left (with his Treaty moustache)? www.irishtimes.com/opinion/diarmaid-ferriter-michael-coll...

CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY I was going to draw attention to the dog bowl but that does not have a tail to wag!

The barque is worse in the bight.

There's a mention in the catalogue notes that it could be the Palme, but I don't think that's right. The Palme was the focus of the 1895 Kingstown Lifeboat Disaster, and according to newspaper reports the masts were cut off when it went aground.
