Scope and Content Family group in the Conservatory, Peebles Hotel Hydropathic, Innerleithen Road, Peebles This photograph of a family group, taken in 1894 in the conservatory of the Peebles Hotel Hydropathic, is by the distinguished architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The hotel opened in 1881 offering water cures for the treatment of disease. There are seldom figures in Lemere's photographs, and this picture is unusual. The identity of the family is unknown but it is possibly the hotel's manager, Albert Max Thiem, his wife, and three of their children who assisted in the running of the hotel. The hotel was destroyed by a disastrous fire in 1905. Albert Thiem drew up proposals for the building of a new hotel on the same site, and the second hydropathic, the Hotel-Hydro of Peebles, designed by the Glasgow architect, James Miller, opened in 1907.
