Summary edit

Description

Despite the fact that the Lawrence Studio marked this one on the glass plate itself as being Cahirciveen, it's actually Glenbeigh, Co. Kerry, and this "house" is now The Glenbeigh Hotel.

Thanks to mgk_online and HibernoManchego (formerly Mike at Sea) for information/confirmation!

Myrtle26 added some historical and tourism information on this hotel: "This hotel was mentioned by Samuel Carter Hall in A Week in Killarney (1858) and it is said to have been known as a hotel in 1840. ... Slater's Directory noted the hotels in Killarney and Tralee which were Post Houses as well and he gave the times the post carriages left for destinations such as Cahersiveen. Cahersiveen was an important destination for commerce and a great deal of the Glenbeigh Hotel's business would have come from being a Half Way House on the way from both Tralee and Killarney. Lawrence would have known very well that he was in Glenbeigh but he possibly titled this picture in a slightly slipshod and hasty way."

Date: Circa 1890
