    Absolutely in stitches here at Library Towers! Just noticed the boy/girl who's managed to squish his/her head in beside Andrew Carnegie's elbow - mad!

    Great picture. In 1901, Mr. Andrew Carnegie offered `to subscribe £5,000 towards the erection of new public free library buildings in Waterford'. At a meeting on 15 Oct 1901, `Mr. Alexander Nelson, J.P., D.L., [c.1844-1921] subscribed £250' to a fund to increase the income of the Free Library (Irish Times 16 Oct 1901). The site for the new Library at Lady Lane, opened in 1905, was donated by Alexander Nelson; see www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&... I wonder is Nelson one of the dignitaries in the photograph? Alexander was Mayor for 1900 (according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rulers_of_Waterford ) but the photograph wasn't taken until 1903; the man with the chain of office looks younger than 69 years old and is probably James A. Power, Mayor for 1903-5.

    Paddy Waldron Thanks Paddy! Besides this photo, that's a very useful reference list for Waterford Mayors in our Poole Collection - will help with dating, etc.

    Looks like their is a cutout in the foundation stone to place a time capsule as as is the usual custom,probably being held by a gentleman on the left. I wonder what they decided to place in it.Great photo and expressions.

    Hornbeam (ironwood) is readily available around the Pearson home and is known for being very strong and often straight enough to be used for scaffolding support.

    Mr Ball must have been on the old lighthouse (on the left above) to look down on the new one growing.

    beachcomber australia That makes sense! I had an image of him at the top of a mast trying to take the shot as the ship rocked back and forth!
