The old courthouse (c. 1910)
Private coll. (Caddell family).
Sunnyside is located just a few hundred metres from this gorgeous neo-gothic building that served as the council office for the county, the registry office and the circuit court (for small claims) from 1888 to 1913.
The building changed vocation and the “old courthouse” became a place where locals and vacationers got together, especially on rainy days. They played cards in the common room, at one point known as “the Mikado.” There was also an outdoor tennis court there, a tradition that continues today.
Notice the outhouse on the right. At the beginning of the 20th century, toilets in the countryside were always outdoors.
