CITY LAND CHANGES OWNERSHIP
Manners Street Property
ONCE OCCUPIED BY MAORI MISSION HOUSE
After having been in the possession of the one family since 1875. a section in Manners Street. Wellington, has changed hands for about £lO,OOO cash. The property, which stands at the corner of Manners Street and Luke’s Lane, originally formed part of the Te Aro Maori pa and was acquired in 1875 by the late Mr. James Helyer from the Native chief Te Wheru.
When Mr. Helyer, a monumental mason, bought the section it was occupied by a wooden building used as a Maori mission house. It was subsequently converted into business premises as they stand to-day. The section, which has a frontage of 40 feet to Manners Street and 100 feet to Luke’s Lane, has been bought for approximately the figure mentioned, by Auld and Gleeson, glass, oil and colour merchants, of Taranaki Street, who purpose to erect a modern concrete building on it in place of the existing wooden shops. The transaction was effected through Messrs. J. Fanning and Co. as agents.
