The newly painted family home sparkles in the Dunedin summer. The special thing about this house is that it was designed and pre-fabricated in America in the mid 1800’s and then shipped to New Zealand where it was assembled on this property around 1863. The house has been added to and repaired at various times, but this front section is pretty much original. It would have been great to have a similar photo taken when the house was built to compare with this photo, but when the house was fabricated cameras were still quite rare, and certainly did not take colour shots.
