While Ruskie is getting together a more comprehensive summary I will give a quick précis of my thoughts

%^*$&

Now a summary

1. I think it is a view from the rear. I agree an orangery/sunroom/glasshouse would NOT be visible
2. There are further buildings to the back ie the glasshouse has a further building behind, which makes me think the whole building could be a C shape from the front
3. There have been additions over the years. The 2 entrances suggest this , plus other factors
4. I do agree it is '' in the style of '' The Arts and Crafts movement which flourished between 1880-1910
5. The picture was taken after 1906
6. The lawn is/was used for recreation rather than just having lawn covering a large space.
7. There is a span of Scots Pine from the ''front'' of the building.
8. The tower is suggestive of a coastal location but doesn't exclude inland

If anyone wishes to add to these you are most welcome  :)

Very nice dg. I think this might be useful to add to Caz's new thread under a "what we almost all agree on" heading.  :)

I have almost finished going through the current thread making my summary but I need to tidy it up before posting. It didn't take as long as I expected because "the red herring" was thrown in way back at page 14 and much of the subsequent discussion has been about that. ::)

Speaking of that ... for anyone still following the saga, I still have not received the copy of the two pages (from Scouseboy) which Denbighshire Archives sent him. I had a feeling I wouldn't.  ::)

Caz. I have completed the summary. Please let me know if you wish to use it at the start of a new thread and I will PM it to you, or shall I post it here?

I have found the close-ups extremely useful as they show up many features not evident in the normal sized photo. I am wondering if it is possible to either post a huge enlarged photo that we can scroll around, or post enlarged sections of the entire photo?

Reading some of the comments, I think perhaps a new thread will be appropriate now that we have a summary, to save people wading through to find what has already been suggested so we don't double up.  To keep the numbering system I will call it No. 12a.

It will have to wait until tomorrow, Monday, as the copy I have got is on paper and not Digital.

I have got two pages photo copied from the book ( on paper, not digital)     

It is a black and white photo   with the new house still under construction. There is scaffolding up. 
Some sort of wheeled mechanical device, possibly a steam driven cement mixer. A horse probably for transporting materials.  25 workmen plus two people in one of the upstairs rooms, not yet glazed.

If I can get to the Library tomorrow  I will try to  scan and send it.

Thank you so much for doing this, but please don't make a special trip just for me.  I do appreciate very much what you have already done.

Great stuff Ruskie.  8)  If there are any particular areas of the house that people would like a close up of, please let me know.

If people could not post  any further comments on this thread while I set up a new one and get some new scans, that would be great.  :) :)

I will post a link to the new thread here for anyone that drops by.

Unfortunately I have made two posts within 24 hours, so I can't post the next No. 12a thread until about 9.30pm Australian time.  Sorry.   :(

To help with the new thread, it would be very useful to have Cazza's idea of whether this photo is part of what we could call the Clifton Brown set.  There's no way to tell from the picture as posted on the thread, but the original post for No 12 said the photo was the same size, paper etc as the set.  On the other hand, several people have said this photo (photo not the building) looks later than the ca1907 of the others in the set.  So some clarification would help.
