George Brock's hunting dogs

Main

Record number41441Datec.1900DescriptionPhotographs from the Brock family album. Various members of family at La Corniche from the 1890's to the 1930's. La Corniche was owned by Oswald Brock. The mansion built at Mona Vale by George Brock in 1894, which sent him broke, became known as 'Brock's Folly'. This gentleman called it 'The Oaks'. It overlooked what was originally called 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.MenuPlace | Suburbs L-M | Mona Vale (N.S.W.)Place | Built Environment | Buildings and HousesCommunity | Other | Animals | DogsSourceDoddsSubjectsBrock, GeorgeHunting dogsKeywordsBrock, George
