Description:
This photograph is one of 13 contained in an album titled 'Bangoola" / Mosman / 1912".
In 1912 the house Bangoola, in Parriwi Road Mosman, was the home of Paul Schreiterer (1868-1939), a German-born woolbuyer, his wife Ida (nee Smith) and their six children, of whom the youngest was born around the same time that this photograph was taken. The house had been built for the Schreiterers around 1905 and it remained the family home for many years.
Although Schreiterer had settled in Australia in 1893, and married an Australian woman, his house was the target of an anti-German attack in January 1917, during the First World War. The Sun newspaper reported that "a large gelignite bomb" was thrown into the cellar basement of the house causing extensive damage. [ref: The Sun 7 January 1917 p.4]
