An ornate 2-storey dwelling on the bank of a river or similar stretch of water near Saltsjobaden, Sweden.

An ornate 2-storey dwelling on the bank of an unidentified stretch of water, possibly a river, said to be at Saltsjobaden, Sweden. The photographer is looking towards the bank showing a footpath with seats on it at the water's edge. A single masted dinghy is by a small jetty on the right and a motor boat is passing a single storey building on the left. The dwelling has a pitched roof centre section with a square tower on either side of it. Decorative wooden balconies are outside the first floor windows and a verandah is at ground floor level. The three-part roof is enclosed by highly carved wooden fences. The negative is captioned Saltsjobaden but no building of this description can be traced in the vicinity of Saltsjobaden using Google Earth.
