Ink and wash drawing showing the home of William Watson, President of the Bank of New Zealand, seen from the shelter of a shrubbery border across a flat lawn. The wooden house is a single storey with a small upper storey whose two windows face the viewer. There is a verandah and bay window at the left, and a large glass conservatory at the right. The roof has several wooden finials, and there are two chimneys. The barge boards and the verandah have decorative patterns along their edgings. The house has plantings of flowers and shrubs surrounding it, a cabbage tree on the left. The view looks south with The Terrace on the left, the cabbage tree being on the street frontage.
A building permit for a two-storeyed house to replace this one were entered in 1906; plans were drawn and the house erected in 1907. The Library has the plans for this replacement house at Plans-80-0619/0621. The second house still existed in 2011, with modifications. The site is close to the high point of The Terrace, near Mount Street
