Little Nell,

Have you seen my Open Letter to  Cazza elsewhere on the Handwriting Forum?

I asked her  a similar question to yours in the previous post.

It does have a coastal feel to it - I can imagine it being a hotel if it is still standing today.

Yes. One of those converted Country mansion Hotels. I agree.

Three Michelin stars sort of place.

Has anyone actually looked at the 1911 census I gave a link to?

I'm sorry but there is no further information I can give you other than what I have already posted.   This photo is just one of a bundle.   The only thing I can hazard a guess at, is that it was taken around 1908ish like some of the others based on the "type" of photo, ie tone and paper thickness.  It is a unique physical size that matches none of the others.

Sorry!

..you are definitely a tenacious bunch!  Keep it up!  Apart from wanting to know the outcome, it's incredibly entertaining! ;D ;D

I look at this house and I ask myself, would it be historically significant and therefore preserved or listed?  If it was damaged would they bother restoring it to it's original condition?  To me, both answers are no, so I think there is every chance this house no longer exists and there may be no evidence of it on the net, simply because the photo I have is someone's happy snap of a place they maybe once owned, visited at some stage or convalesced there.

I wish I could offer more clues, but the fact is there are none except, as I said, the possibility this photo was taken around the same time as the Clifton Brown ones, with the exception that this one is postcard size (it's not a postcard though) and the Clifton Brown's are approx 3 x 3 square.

Perhaps it's time to throw in the towel.  :-\

Oh I just read this!  ;D ;D Somehow I don't think people will throw in the towel, but they have more patience than I could ever have!

And just to put everyone in a bigger head spin…it looks Canadian to me…some park ranger's lodge with a look out tower for forest fires…or maybe I watch too much TV!  ;D ;D

Actually scrap that, it's too "posh" to be some sort of government building.
