sketcher, drew a pencil and watercolour elevation of Tahlee House, Port Stephens, New South Wales, in 1831 when Edward and Isabella Parry were living there as a record of the wings the Parrys had recently added to the building. Lady Parry sent this home to her parents in preference to a drawing she had made herself, Armstrong’s being 'of course much better’. It is now among the Parry Papers in the Scott Polar Institute, Cambridge, clearly distinguished from Isabella’s drawings by its formal architectural character.
