Notes
Leopold De Salis first purchased the area known as Lambrigg in 1872 and gave it to his daughter Nina. It remained in the De Salis family until acquired by the Commonwealth in 1922. Leopold, his sons George and Henry and their families, also lived at Lambrigg for several years during the 1890s.
