It overlooked what was called then Bongin Bongin ('lots of shells') beach, now known as Mona Vale beach. The building was renamed 'La Corniche' by Rainaud, a French Restauranter who originally ran a successful tea room, restaurant and boarding house at Church Point-Bayview until a tragedy. He brought the name with him when taking over these premises. The building was demolished to build home units after 1953.Caption reads: 105, Mona Vale, Pittwater, N.S.W.MenuPlace | Suburbs L-M | Mona Vale (N.S.W.)Place | Built Environment | Buildings and HousesPlace | Built Environment | RoadsSourceState Library of New South WalesSubjectsLa Corniche ( Mona Vale, N.S.W.)Historic buildings - - New South WalesMona Vale (N.S.W.)Brock's FollyKeywordsLa Corniche (House : Mona Vale, N.S.W.)|Historic buildings - - New South Wales|Mona Vale|Mona Vale (N.S.W.)Physical descriptionPhotograph; Digital Image 400 DPICopyrightThis item may be used freely for research and study purposes, for all other uses contact State Library of NSW.
