Lorne Victoria Australia
Summerhill, 39 Hall Street
Summerhill a much loved holiday home built by the Morrison family from Colac at 39 hall Street Lorne. The Morrison sisters, of Nellie and Elizabeth purchase a block of land in North Lorne, on the 7 June 1922. Purchased from Mr. P. C. Hancox for £20 cash (Block in section 19, Township of Lorne). The building of a cottage on the land was agreed upon to be called Glan-y-mor (Welsh for seaside). Later in 1927 a decision was made to change the holiday property name to Summerhill. This was done on the proposal of their father Richard Morrison, who was born in Summerhill, County Meath, Ireland. The name change was accepted.
