- Description
Boys tending a garden crop in front of Guy House at Weraroa Boys Training Farm on Kimberley Rd, Levin. The instructor in a white shirt and hat is Mr M W Williams. Mrs Anne Williams stands with son Raymond in the doorway to the house. The boys' dormitory is to the left of this family home. Photograph taken circa 1913 by an unidentified photographer.
Inscription on back of photograph states that the house has been demolished. According to the Horowhenua Historical Society, this information is incorrect (see http://horowhenuahistory.library.org.nz/exhibit1/e10256a.htm). "Clematis Cottage" became the Nurses' Home at Kimberley Hospital and Training School and in 2001 was being used as the Staff Education Centre.
