The
notable Wellington house which serves the Historic Places
Trust as its headquarters has seen many changes in nearly
one hundred years.
Imagine
yourself in 1906 being received by Mrs Hannah Hannah in the
main drawing room of Antrim House on Boulcott Street, in the
inner suburbs of Wellington. Your view out the windows would
have been on either side into the neighbours' gardens, and
from the front windows across the commercial centre of Wellington
to the wooded slopes of Mount Victoria and the beach at Oriental
Parade.
Today
Antrim House stills stands in its original gardens and grounds,
with its original stables and conservatory buildings, and is
now used for meetings and as offices. However, the view is very
different.
