32 Tinakori Road, Thorndon-Pipitea, Wellington City

House for Oswald Beere Esq

An early (1908-09) house by J W Chapman Taylor in his Arts and Craft style. Oswald Beere was a successful Wellington barrister. Built before Chapman-Taylor visited England the house is larger and more conventional than some of his later designs. The cost of the house, 950 pounds, made it an expensive one for its time. A brick 'motor house' since replaced, was part of the original construction. A plaque on the back wall explains the modifications which have been made by the recent owners.
