Tree Information x

Identifier: WTR/0273
Tree Type: Single
Registered By: Cadwallader, B. G. & Hill, R.N.
Registration Category: Historic tree/s – Local interest
General Notes:
The dwelling is referred as 'The Anchorage’ a large two storey colonial family home. The house was constructed for Alfred Boardman who had acquired the land in 1894. The house was sold to the Holm family in 1897. Mr F. Holm was the founder of the Holm Shipping Company and owned shares in the Maoriland Steamship Company. The Holm family remained the owners of this house until 1979. The vegetation that surrounds the property would be associated with that era, and therefore would have been planted by the Holm family (Hill, R.N., 2017).
