Haslemere

5 Willis Street, WHANGANUI

Quick links:

The following text is from the original proposal report considered by the NZHPT Board at the time of registration. "Haslemere" is a property of considerable architectural and aesthetic quality. The house is characteristic of the work of one of Wanganui' s most prolific architects, Robert Talboys, and was built for well-known Wanganui botanist, James MacGregor (1859-1925). After James' death, his widow, Florence, lived in the property. Since the I970s, the property has been owned by Mrs Eleanor Burgess, one of Wanganui's best-known gardeners. The garden is largely Eleanor Burgess' work, though mature trees survive from earlier periods of occupation.
