The house where Henry in 1911 was building an addition to his house at seawall, Leigh Beck be the Beach House.
When researching the family and noting the maiden name of Henry’s wife (Beach) and the fact that she died in 1909 I wondered was the place called Beach House not because of its location but in memory of Henry’s wife.

The Beach House was originally known as Westover.
The Beach House was built by the Siemens family over 100 years ago and later sold to the Morris family.
It is not clear from the opening section and the closing section exactly what the house was originally named and when any changes took place.
Should it have read at the end that the house reverted to its original name given by Siemens ie Westover as opposed to it being renamed.

Formerly known as Westover Hall, Hall & Woodhouse brewery renamed it ‘The Beach House’ in 2012 to reflect how the Siemens family had always used it. The Beach House was built in 1897 for Alexander Siemens as a summer house for his family.
