6 3/4 x 8 3/4 in. silver gelatin photographs on 11 x 14 in. cardstock mounts, each with O. Pierre Havens' Jacksonville, FL, blindstamp to lower left. Each photograph signed and numbered in the negative by Havens. Circa 1900.

A fine group of images depicting "Dungeness" Thomas Carnegie's winter residence on Cumberland Island, Georgia. Seeking respite for his family from Pittsburg's unhealthy industrial air, in 1880 Carnegie purchased the shell of a plantation house and 4000 acres on the barrier island and over the next five years erected a 56 room Queen Anne style mansion. After the Carnegie family moved away in 1925, the house slowly deteriorated before being demolished by fire in 1959.

This group of images was probably taken about a decade later than those offered in the previous Lot, and not long before Haven's death in 1912.
