Summerlees Cottage 1899

Bob, my gorgeous friend and a talented curator, has discovered some photographs of Summerlees Cottage taken in 1899 and I just had to share them! Arthur Wigram Alan was a Sydney lawyer and an avid photographer who recorded much if his privileged life during the Edwardian period. It may well be that we fill the ballroom and dance the night away as he did during his visit to the venue over 100 years ago!
