Description

Fergus Clunie was Director of the Fiji Museum until the mid 1980s when he came to New Zealand and worked on a King Country farm. He became curator of Pompallier House, which was in dire structural trouble, in early 1988. The Trust (Historic Places Trust) wanted to resolve problems with the building. Refers to Alan Nixon, chief engineer for the Works Consultancy, Ruth Ross, Pompallier House historian, Mr Wilson, project manager, and Jeremy Salmond, conservation architect. Gives details of restoration and describes the goal of achieving a self-generating income for the building compatible with the building's history.
