    Found via Google Lens and Google Images, which ignored the nave being four bays/windows longer. See "design for the extension of the nave and completion of the tower"- catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000317703

    Via Trove from 1846 - "... Whilst Valentia slate from Kerry is used in the Houses of Parliament for roofing, the proprietors of the Roman Catholic Cathedral at Killarney, within forty miles of Valentia, are importing slate from Wales, a distance of six hundred miles ..."

    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'

    Great blog full of information. Queen Victoria had lunch here in 1861 etc. - davidhicksbook.blogspot.com/2016/03/glena-cottage-kerry-c...

    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."
