Summary

[General description] This is a view of the tower and part of the front of Mount Breckan House which was badly damaged by a fire in 1908. It was designed for Alexander Hay by architect William McMinn in the Gothic Revival style and built in 1881 as a summer retreat. It was one of the largest private residences in Australia at the time. It has had several partial restorations since but has now (2011) been fully restored. See B 4288 for another view. [On back of photograph] 'The ruins / Mount Breckan / Victor Harbor / c. 1912'.
