- Description
Shows a two-storied gabled house among trees (including a young nikau in the left foreground), with a driveway in the left foreground. There are tall trees behind the house and hills in the background, with a smaller cottage to the right of the main house
Possibly Henry Redwood's house, in the Appleby-Waimea district, Nelson.
Identified by current the owners of Henry Redwood's home (built 1866) during a visit to the Library in July 2005. The owners state that is either the house of Henry Redwood senior, or 'Headensford' about 1 km distant, built by Henry Redwood for his son, Henry Redwood junior, 'The father of New Zealand turf'. The large trees behind the house are likely to be the original bluegums planted there. The smaller cottage to the right was made of mud brick and was destroyed in the 1929 earthquake
The nikau in the foreground was possibly planted by the Redwood family. The garden appears to have been established for some years, dating the view to at least 1870
Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).
