    Perhaps they invented it ?!

    Mike Grimes Mike, did they take over from the hotel or was there another life in-between?
  • John Spooner said:
    On 3rd September 1907 and the four following days, the "complete, elegant and costly appointments of the Glenmore Hotel, Rostrevor" were put up for auction (Newry Reporter - Tuesday 27 August 1907). The owner selling was Mrs O'Leary, and the new owner was a Mr Collen or Collins (the Newry Reporter couldn't make up its mind)

    I wonder if the photo was commissioned as part of the sales literature provided to potential buyers?
    [On reflection, probably not, as the auctioneers R. M. Gray were a Belfast company. Would they commission a Dublin photographer?]

    Edit: But ... the catalogue for the sale had "a capital view of the picturesque mansion on the cover". There were 1200 lots.

    John Spooner I'd say this was just a normal workaday shot for Robert French, roaming photographer. Though people often bought Lawrence prints for their own use/enjoyment...

Bellevue Homestead, Brisbane Valley, ca. 1914

    Don't miss out on the headlines from Property. Followed categories will be added to My News. Follow A PIECE of Queensland's history that sits on Ipswich's doorstep is up for sale. The historic Bellevue Homestead at Coominya has been put up on the market offering a rare opportunity to own one of the state's oldest homesteads. Bellevue was established in the early 1840s as part of the Wivenhoe run and by the early 1900s was the social center of the district. The property changed hands a couple of times before it was bought by William North Snr who established a 2,000-hectare section of the Wivenhoe run as the separate Bellevue Station. None of the original buildings have survived. In the early days, sheep grazing was the main industry but in the 1870s sheep gave way to cattle and the Taylor family took over Bellevue Homestead. During the Taylors' time, the Brisbane River flooded, in 1893, destroying parts of the timber-framed house which was later restored. In 1899 the owner George Taylor died but his widow remained at the station and in 1901 re-married a man named Charles Lumley Hill. The pair extended the homestead, adding a new dining room, a guest suite, and servants' quarters, as well as renovating the earlier sections of the home. In the early decades of the twentieth century, Bellevue was the social center of the district. Today the homestead has three separate buildings. The original slab hut was built in 1840 and still has the original kitchen landowners used. The second building is Victorian design and has six bedrooms. The third building, the Federation-style guest house, was built in 1903 and contains an enormous dining room, smoking room, and guest suite. The owners use the property as their private home and parts of the homestead have been set up for a business with an approved commercial kitchen to cater for weddings, private functions, bed and breakfast, wine tasting, home-style dining, and 'Devonshire Tea'.
