Ancient Dwellings Demolished
During the past few days some of the most, ancient wooden dwellings in mid-Wellington have disappeared. These were “Ye Ancient Smithy" and the two dwellings that stood between the Terminus Hotel property and York street in Taranaki street. It was estimated that these residences were at least 70 years old, and were probably the first houses erected on the block when the Te Aro district was originally settled. The property belongs to the Reynolds and Sinclair estate.
