    There's some information available on "Eastern Lodge/Villa" at the History of Newcastle, Co. Down Facebook, including pictures of the inside, and a couple of pictures of the house over the years. Eastern Villa (later called eastern Lodge) was built around the late 1870s by H Smyth JP, who was a civil engineer and the County Surveyor. He built it with a water tower that ingeniously collected water by gravity, piped from further up the mountain. Mr Smyth lived here until the mid 1890s, when it was taken over by Daniel McCartan, a solicitor, and Clerk of the Town Council. He was still living there in 1918.

    It looks like Wicklow.... Think the mountain is the Sugar Loaf. At a guess it is one of the many roads around that area. The style of house is correct.

    beachcomber australia Niall McAuley Good spotting. Apparently it's actually a barn. (See Clanbrassil barn on the Tollymore Forest Park wiki page.)
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Streetview Per Wikipedia: Clanbrassil barn, located near the exit to the park, was built in around 1757 by James Hamilton (1st Earl of Clanbrassil). The building was designed to look like a church. A steeple containing a bell, clock and sundial was added to the east end of the building in 1789. The barn, attached Gothic gate and wall are grade B1 listed buildings. The barn functioned as a stable and store until 1971. The ground floor now contains toilets and an education room.
