    Designed by a Mr Berkely Deane Wise, according to an article in the Carrick Times and East Antrim Times - Thursday 31 October 1991
    In 1888 Berkeley Deane Wise was appointed engineer to the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway. His work in Whitehead included the creation of Blackhead Path, the promenade, ladies and gents bathing boxes on the promenade, a beach (using imported sand from Portrush) and a bandstand. He also designed Sunshine House.

    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...
