- 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 cabbage tree at the left, near the chapel.
Attributed to Rev Codrington on stylistic grounds (see treatment of roof surface and foliage in his "Waipapa, Clarence, Jan 24, 1863" - copy in D & P file print drawers). Mary Hobhouse also mentions in a letter of early 1860(?), that "I send you 2 sketches done ... from drawings Mr Codrington took of the 2 sides of this queer house".
According to a hand-drawn map deposited at the same time, and probably drawn by Maria Nicholson, this house was in Grattan Street, in The Wood area of Nelson.
