Possibly taken from the heights of Point Piper, this view into the afternoon light is magnificently captured in monochrome oils. At that time, the most significant construction on the promontory was Woollahra House. Built in 1883 for William Cooper, it was a two-storied stone structure surmounted with a mansard tower with cast iron decorated balconies on three sides. It boasted a vestibule, hall, dining room, library, drawing room, nine bedrooms and three bathrooms. Demolished in 1927 after repeated subdivisions of its grounds, all the remains of the estate today are the stables (Wyuna Court apartments) and the gatekeeper’s lodge (Rose Bay Police Station).
