Ewelme Cottage

Ewelme Cottage is a charming 1863–64 Victorian cottage in Parnell, Auckland, built for the Reverend Vicesimus Lush and his wife Blanche. Lived in by the same family for over a century, the house has remained largely unchanged since the 1880s. It is owned by Auckland Council and managed by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga, who care for the cottage's original collection of furniture, books and family belongings.
