The Industrial and Agricultural Institute, 1860-1874 (Place)

SummaryAlso known as:
The Native School
The Military Hospital

The Industrial and Agricultural Institute, opened in June 1860 to train 60 young Māori in crafts and agriculture. It was repurposed as a hospital when troops arrived in Tauranga in early 1864. Following the battle at Pukehinahina and the massacre at Te Ranga, it served as a school and teacher's residence. The Mission ceded the school in 1872, and by 1874, it is relocated to the rear of the government section and then removed. Several locations lay claim to receiving it. It is more likely that material from the building contributed to J.C. Adam's house, Matapihi School, the "old house" at 83 Seventh Ave, the original Tauranga Primary School and the house in Arundel Street.
