Description

Photo of two children (identified as Bessie Riddell - later Bessie Frank - and her brother) standing outside 121 Carrall Street. This is how the house appeared before the front veranda was removed in 1914 . There was once a boardwalk out to Elgin Street.

This is the original Daniel McAinsh home, a local stonemason,built in 1869. When this photograph was taken it was the property of the Riddell family and this image was copied from a family photograph album belonging to Bessie Riddell Frank, a nurse at the St. Marys Hospital and a long-time resident of St. Marys. Mr. Riddell sold the house to John Grieve Lind, the founder of the St. Marys Cement Company, and he gave it to his son John and his new wife Margaret Lind as a wedding present.
Click below the photograph to see how the house looked in 2004.
