Merchant's House Museum www.merchantshouse.com/ From Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant's_House_Museum Merchant's House Museum, known formerly as Old Merchant's House and as the Seabury Tredwell House, is a Federal-style red-brick row house built in 1832 by Joseph Brewster. It is located at 29 East Fourth Street, between Lafayette Street and the Bowery,Manhattan, New York City. It was designed by Minard Lafever. It became a museum in 1936 and is the only nineteenth century family home in New York City preserved intact - both inside and outside.

There seems to be an error here. This is not the Scone Hotel, it is the Como Hotel. At the persistent URL we can zoom in to see that the sign on top of the hotel reads, "COMO HOTEL" That means we can track it down to the Como Hotel @ 35 Cremona Road, Como, New South Wales although I suspect the present day hotel has been rebuilt after fire. It's highly visible at this map link: maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=... and at this Flickr example: www.flickr.com/photos/sgmdigital/2495301407/ The steam train pictured appears to be steaming into modern day Como Railway station here: maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=... and there's this old image at the National Library of Australia: nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3297758

great shot

Yes you are right! It is Como Hotel (re-built after a fire). Good work BobMeade

Something mysterious about Royal Hotel. CHARTERS TOWERS' RICH HISTORY TOLD THROUGH GHOSTLY TALES The gold rush brought out the best and the worst in people according to history buff Jack Sim. Jack runs ghost tours in Brisbane and has recently brought the business to Charters Towers. He was attracted to the north Queensland town because of its rich and prosperous history; he says the town is full of ghost stories. Hotel home to grizzly tales The Royal Hotel is one of the stops on the ghost tour - a grand old building with a dark past. "It was here in 1901 that there was a dramatic and terribly violent incident that took place," Jack said. An estranged couple, the Cordays, met at the hotel. That was despite the fact that Mrs. Corday, and her friend who accompanied her, knew that Mr. Corday had violent intentions toward his wife following their separation. "He was unhappy with her extra-marital relationships," Jack recounted. "After leaving them to come into the bar here to get some drinks for his partner... he re-entered the room [but] instead of having drinks in his hand he held a revolver. "He shot her at virtually point-blank range in the head, and then took his own life in the bar." As the years went on it became well known around town that the dead couple haunted the pub. They are joined by one of the hotel's former proprietors, Mrs. McDonald, who owned the pub for 50 years. "The current owner of the hotel, she tells me that when she comes up the staircase she feels Mrs. McDonald walking right beside [her] as she comes up the stairs each day," he said. "Not in a bad way, she just feels like the lady that was her predecessor is just there with her, helping her to manage the hotel." Source: www.abc.net.au/local/photos/2015/05/11/4233354.htm
