Sailor's Rest - 18 Duke Street, Kingston Cir 1905

THE SAILORS' REST, 18 Duke Street, Kingston (Pre 1907 earthquake)

Sailor's Rest - 18 Duke Street, Kingston Cir 1905


This has been started by Mrs. Denniston to afford sailors visiting the port a pleasant room in which to sit, read, play games, etc. Once kept at Mrs. Denniston's private residence, the Reading Room has been removed to 18 Duke Street, Kingston . During 1908 a new and improved building was erected to replace that destroyed by the earthquake in 1907.
