Scope and Content Entrance Hall, Turnberry Hotel, Turnberry, Ayrshire This photograph of the entrance hall of Turnberry Hotel was taken in 1906 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The huge first-class hotel was designed in 1904-6 by the architect, James Miller, for the Glasgow & South Western Railway. The entrance hall was designed in an early 18th-century Revival style with panelled walls and a modillion cornice with Classical motifs. It was lit by elegant electric light fittings, a new technology of the time, and had a porter's box at the entrance. Harry Bedford Lemere (1864-1944) worked mainly under commission for architects and private owners. His standard equipment was a mahogany and brass stand camera, with glass plate negatives, which he continued to use until his last commission in 1941. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
