The fine gardens and buildings of Garinish Island were designed and executed by Harold Peto (1854-1933) for Annan Bryce (1874-1924) who purchased the island from the War Office in 1910. This picturesque building retains much of its historic character and features, including the camber-headed openings, windows and porch.
