Photo sent to Mary Jack, Pittsburgh USA. Accompanying text sent by Charles - 'This is the side facing the creek. It is probably the side you asked me to take a photo of. Notice the bathroom behind the towel on the washing line. This was erected to give the tenant privacy. It cost over 100 pounds. The place was condemned a month or so later. You will notice there is nothing growing here. This part was always used for growing vegetables, there is not one there now. If I get him out the place will have to be demolished. We are not allowed to let it to another person to live in.Black and white photo of Schwerkolt Cottage. Recently built detached Bathroom , visible to left of photo.

After her mother and brother died, Mary lived with her uncle, John Kruse. They realised that her mother Wilhelmina had wrongly given the cottage to Louise Schwerkolt, which was not in accordance with August Schwerkolt's will. In 1909, when Mary was 22, she and her uncle set sail on Seydlitz for Melbourne in order to gain title to her inheritance. They were successful in getting both the Mitcham and Northcolt titles transferred to her name.Coloured photograph at the 'Seydlitz' from Germany.
