SummaryOriginally located on Sixth Avenue in Tauranga, New Zealand, this early 20th-century villa, also known as the former Waldegrave House, was moved to Te Puke in 1997 to make way for an expansion of the Cedar Manor home and hospital. Likely built around 1905-1910, the villa housed prominent residents such as W.R.C. Walker, a Tauranga District High School headmaster, and a Tauranga Borough engineer. Featuring a veranda with dual front doors from its time as a duplex, the home embodies the architectural and social history of early Tauranga. After relocation, it was set for restoration and repurposing on a Western Bay lifestyle block, though it did not qualify for historic protection status.SourcesHistoric home awaits new lease of life: Bay of Plenty Times 8 May 1997
