Description

Shows house in Nelson rented by Bishop Hobhouse 1859-63. Shows a shingled roof, a long verandah with creeper growing over it, neatly planted garden, circular flower bed. The house is seen from the north (see plan on verso of A-306-004), with the skylighted chapel at left, and the bedrooms belonging to Mr Philpott and Mr Tudor at the right. There is a hatted figure sitting in the window of Mr Philpott's room, and another figure on the verandah.

This sketch is virtually identical to those at A-306-005 and A-306-006, but there is less detail. There are numbers added, and a key at the top left, specifying the chapel, roof of bedrooms, over small spare room and drawing room, and the outside bedrooms.

According to Shirley Tunnicliffe, it is Mary Hobhouse's writing of the title and key at the top.

According to a hand-drawn map deposited at the same time, and probably also drawn by Maria Nicholson, this house was in Grattan Street, in The Wood area of Nelson.
