There are French/Lawrences in the catalogue like L_CAB_08263 which would be before 1925. The front wall to the right of the tower looks flat in the Monkey, not in the older Lawrence.

Apologies for veering off topic - although not too far - but Helena Zinkham, head of the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress, gave us all a lovely compliment on the LOC's blog. She's been involved in Flickr Commons from when it was just a twinkle in George Oates' eye. Anyway, Helena says:
"... For example, in the National Library of Ireland’s photostream, delightful conversations develop as a group pieces together the story for each photograph..."
I think we're the only ones who get a special mention. :)
