I did a Google search on Hildesheimer & Co Ltd and apparently they operated
from about 1850 -1910. This would help narrow down the time line of the
Swiss Cottage. The print on Ebay shows the cottage located adjacent to a
river or watercourse possibly the River Roding. I have looked on Old-Maps
but found nothing yet.
