27 Lugard Road ??
Looking at a B/W photo here , this may be the bomb damaged building at 27 Lugard Road. This website notes that due to damage during the war, the house was not rehabilitated until 1950.
I don't think its 27 Lugard
I don't think its 27 Lugard Road, the architecture does not match. I also think that ruin is beyond rehabilitation, the shock damage would have made it far cheaper/safer just to pull it down. When the picture was sold at auction, the date given for it was 1948. Here is a photo of the same building undamaged, c1918:
The windows, verandah on the near right hand corner, chimneys and pediment match. Unfortunately I do not know where it was. Perhaps the road layout will help someone identify it.
Thanks
Yes, not 27 Lugard Road. Nice comparison, though.
25/26 Lugard Rd
The road curve suggests this is perhaps where 25/26 now stand: https://earth.app.goo.gl/4GCHax

The house was called Bishop's
The house was called Bishop's Lodge, I have created a place for this generation building here. A couple more photos:
Bishops Lodge is upper centre, the building down and to the right of the other buildings on the peak:

The current building, although still called Bishops Lodge, seems to be a post war construction. Phil has some nice shots of it on his blog here
