Clarke House, Te Puna (Place)

SummaryClarke House is a mid-20th-century rural farmhouse constructed by Hector and Undine Clarke on family farmland in Te Puna. Hector Clarke hand-made thousands of concrete blocks to build the house. The Clarke family had settled the land in the late 19th century, on lower terraces below a former pā site overlooking the Wairoa River mouth. The farm developed into a major dairy operation in the Bay of Plenty.SourcesHeritage New Zealand: Wāhi Tapu listing
