A historic home at 14-16 Stout Street, Gisborne; built in 1886 by James Charles Dunlop. Originally known as "Kelvin", then "Kelvin Rise" for Dunlop's family connection to Glasgow. Dunlop sold the house to politican, businessman, and lawyer William Douglas Lysnar on the 26 August 1898.
In 1954, his daughter gave part of the property to the Gisborne City Council to become Kelvin Park, and sold the house to the Council for use as a gallery and museum which opened in June 1955 as Gisborne's Art Gallery and Museum. In 1975, the ballroom and tower were removed and shifted to the Marina where it is used as a restaurant circa 2018. From 1977, the house was used as an arts centre by the Gisborne Art Society known as "Lysnar House", and managed as part of the Tairawhiti Museum complex at Stout Street. In 2018 the house is used as the studio for the Gisborne Pottery Group.
Listed as a Heritage New Zealand historic place category 2, list number 3537.
