CARGILL'S CASTLE
In our advertising column _ visitors to the city are reminded to visit Cargill’s Castle during their stay. The castle was built in 1876 by the late E. 11. Cargill on the Cliffs, St. Clair, Dunedin’s most prominent site. After Mr Cargill’s death the castle fell into a state of disrepair, and finally became a ruin. Early in 1930,. however, the present management purchased the property, and has completely restored its former beauty. Electric light has been installed throughout, hot and cold water provided, bathrooms, cloak rooms, lounges, and a large tea room and ballroom added, the latter capable of accommodating 200 guests. Already hundreds of delighted visitors have inspected the castle, have feasted their, eyes on the glorious panoramic view, and been regaled with a cup of tea. The moderate charge of admission entitles patrons to afternoon tea and a view from the tower.
