    3. Does anyone know where I can find out something about the building of Napoleon's home, Longwood, on St. Helena? A friend in Tasmania has found that a local house there was built by a descendent of Sir Hudson Lowe, who was there with Napoleon, as an almost exact replica of Longwood. We find this intriguing, and want to know more about how the Tasmanian house came to be built, and why. I thought the building of Longwood on St. Helena would be interesting also. Go well!
