Lots of history in the comments for nearby (but also gone) Kenmare House:
Niall McAuley said:
This house was built in 1872, burned down in 1913. Queen Victoria, visiting the estate in 1861, is supposed to have chosen the site for this house.
George FitzPatrick said:
Looking back at the research done on these houses and history of fires it is worth noting the permanently fitted ladders beside the chimneys. In Sweden you are required by law to have a steel ladder fitted to your house roof if there are chimneys.
Niall McAuley said:
The DIA dates the house to 1877-78.

There was a nice piece in the "Mercury" newspaper, in Tasmania about Thomas Francis Meagher and the tri-ccolor. I get to celebrate my 25% today. Strangely, I feel closer or have an affinity stronger than the other 75% and have always felt Ireland is my spiritual home, since first visiting on leave from the Army, in August 1977. Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Seems to be referred to as 'Lady Kenmare's Cottage' in the mid-1800s Ordnance Survey first edition 6" map, but 'Glena Cottage' is also there nearby. Then the name 'Lady Kenmare's Cottage' disappears in the Cassini version of the map, 'Glena Cottage' is switched from one building to the other, and the building formerly referred to as 'Glena Cottage' is then referred to as 'Visitor's Cottage'

From above link - "In anticipation of the Royal visit, the cottage had been redecorated with white chintz wall paper with a floral pattern." See megazoom !! - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000563979

Also from the blog is this sad story from 1889, which is probably too late for this particular photo (?) - "Tragedy struck the inhabitants of the cottage in 1889, when a Dr. Finerty rented the cottage from Lord Kenmare. Dr Finerty and his wife, who were married a year previous, had their first child born at Glena. They had a christening party and invited a large number of people to celebrate at the cottage by the lake. A number of young men who attended the party over indulged and left the party by row boat which overturned. Among the five young men drowned, were brothers Joseph and Daniel Riordan who worked in the post office in Killarney."
