About this object
View of the Tiffen Residence on Tennyson Street, Napier, possibly taken in the late nineteenth century.
The photograph has been taken from the front garden looking towards the front façade of the house. The house is of timber construction with a shingle roof. A verandah runs across the front of the building.
In the foreground, four women pose for the photograph. The two women on the left hold croquet mallets. Three croquet hoops and a ball are also visible. The woman in black on the far right is thought to be Lucy Eleanor Tiffen. Napier Hill is visible in the background.
Photographer, unknown.
