Photo Title: Spring Garden at Blair Gowie

Description:
Spring garden at Blair Gowie, the home of Harry and Jenny Butchart Ross, at 2031 Runnymede. There is a question as to the correct spelling of the house name - written "Blair Gowie" on plans submitted by Samuel Maclure. Was it a spelling error and meant to be named after the Scottish town of Blair Gowrie?
