Old Photographs Laudervale House Scotland

Old photograph of Laudervale House by Dunoon, Scotland. This Victorian mansion house was the home of Sir Harry Lauder. Originally named Gerhallow House, it was bought by Sir Harry Lauder and Lady Lauder from Douglas Granville Gossling on May 20, 1908. The couple disliked the existing name and in 1912 renamed it to the more personalized "Laudervale. " Lauder lived at the property from 1908 to the 1930s. After a fire, which burnt over half of it, it was left in a ruinous state until 1980 when both the house and the stable blocks were demolished. Much of the grounds were subsequently sold for housing development.
