Charles Cowles, Myahgah and Mena Hospital

Dr. Maurice Mishkel of Canada asks if anyone knows more about Charles Cowles:

What a wonderful site which I came across whilst researching Charles Cowles (1837-1923) owner of the largest gun firm in the second half of the 19th C up to WWII. He lived at ‘Myahgah’ Mosman and Cowles Road is named after him. The best information about Charles is in the on-line A.D.B., but there is very limited information about his firm and his home which became Mena Hospital. I was surprised that I could not find additional information at your site, and would be happy to share information about the firm with you & your readers. I am a retired Aussie academic retired in Canada, and my passion is Australian Postal History with 70 published papers and a website of >500 papers. Can you and your readers help me?
