The centre view looks down over Te Aro Flat towards Mt Victoria. The lowest view is a completely circular one looking down onto Wellington Harbour and Evans Bay from the top of Mount Victoria.

Description: View taken from the terrace in the garden of Dr George Samuel Evans, whose residence is shown in the left foreground. The first house below this on the hill at left, is that of Mr Mocatta. Beyond that house, rather indistinctly, are the New Zealand Company's Survey Offices, Stores, and the Emigration Houses; Messrs Clifford and Vavasour's Establishment, &c., &c. The Hutt Valley is in the distance, with the Hutt Road shown at the left of the harbour. In the centre, the large group of buildings comprises the Supreme Courts, Major Richmond's and the Government Offices; the Thistle Inn, Major Hornbrook's Stores, &c., and a little further to the right, the back of Barrett's may be seen by the side of the harbour. Further along is Mr Fox's house (under a vessel sailing into Lambton Harbour; Colonel Wakefield's residence, with the flagstaff, is a little further to the right, on rising ground, and at a greater distance. Passing on, the eye ranges down the beach to the house at Kuma Toto; Windy Point a little beyond, and Te Aro Flat in the distance. The large roof seen just to the right of Colonel Wakefield's flag-staff, is the Church of England, and the foreground on this side is finished by the residence and grounds of Mr Chetham Strode, which joins Dr Evans' premises.
