Date: 1890 - 1892

By: Hodgkins, William Mathew, 1833-1898; McCormick, Eric Hall (Dr), 1906-1995

Reference: A-169-031

Description: Shows figures on three horses dismounting at hut in centre left background. Hut appears to be of wood, with wooden chimney, and iron roof. A cart approaches in right distance. The title begins with 'and reach the hut' so is presumably a continuation of information in a diary or on another picture. Dated around 1890 as this is assumed to be the exterior of Mrs Birley's establishment shown in A-169-032. She is listed in Wises as a hotel-keeper in Queenstown during the 1880s, and then at Glenorchy in 1890-91. In 1892, J.K. Birley is listed as the hotel-keeper of Mt Earnslaw Hotel, Glenorchy, which may be a grander establishment than this one!
