Built in the early 1880s with additions c1902 and 1912, Waipare is now a sizeable homestead and with its seaside aspect has some aesthetic appeal. The transformation from Victorian cottage to Edwardian homestead is readily apparent. Waipare is a physical representation of the increasing wealth and prosperity of the owners. It had a long association with the Williams family (from the time of its construction until 1959, about 75 years) who were and still are well known in the Gisborne region. Neither J N nor Frank Williams appears to be particularly well-known as a result of individual achievements.
