Stone Store (Kerikeri, N.Z.)

Erected 1832-1836. Designed by Wesleyan missionary John Hobbs and built by William Parrott, an ex-convict stonemason from New South Wales, the store was meant to house New Zealand mission supplies and large quantities of wheat from the mission farm at Te Waimate. When the wheat failed the building was mainly leased as a kauri gum trading store. It then passed into Kemp family ownership, and from 1929 onwards was used mainly as a general store. Bought by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust in 1976, the building has undergone extensive conservation work.
