1899 Photo of the Lake House Meteorite

In the latest WANHS, the Lake House Meteorite is discussed at length in "Pillinger, CT and Pillinger, JM. 2024 Grandfather's stone: the Lake House Meteorite, Britain's largest and earliest extraterrestrial sample. Wilts Arch & Nat Hist Magazine 117, pp 181-196."

In tracing the history of it the authors struggle to explain its appearance in a 1908 photo and say: "Other dated contemporary photographs would be of considerable help"

UPDATE - 1899 photograph found https://collections.salisburymuseum.org.uk/object/SBYWM:1947.39.9

Which clears Detmar Blow and refutes the theory it came from Stonehenge.

Salisbury Museum can provide that help:

A photograph dated 1903 of Lake House shows it.

As does an October 1905 one by Miss Clarice Hules

Its sudden appearance on the steps in the early 1900s supports Andrew  Ziminski's Theory that it was removed from Stonehenge in 1901.
