Queenstown at the turn of the century with the Mine Manager's residence, Penghana, newly built in the foreground. The original photograph in the Archives Office of Tasmania is inscribed on the verso, almost certainly by Sticht's wife Marion, 'View of our house - Queenstown and Mt.Owen. We are 80 ft above the town on a pyramidal shaped hill - we have taken the top off to build the house - Is the view not worth it?' Archives Office of Tasmania, NS 193/1/13.  [photograph]
