About this object
View of a cottage on Hastings Street, Napier.
The photograph has been taken from Hastings Street looking towards the front façade of the building. The cottage is of timber construction with a corrugated iron roof. A verandah runs across the front of the building. A timber fence has been built along the front of the property. The house was located at the south end of Hastings Street.
In front of the house is a buggy pulled by a grey horse. A man stands in front of the buggy holding the reins of the horse. A note on the back of the photograph identifies this man as Jos Blackburn. The note possibly refers to James Joshua Blackburn.
Two women are seated in the cart. The woman with the black hat on is thought to be Mary Ann Blackburn. The second woman in the cart remains unidentified.
A further four people pose for the photograph on the verandah. The name of the woman standing adjacent to the bird cage is unknown. The three children standing beside her on the porch are identified on the back of the photograph as the McGonell children.
The photograph is thought to have been taken on 11 June 1911.
Photographer, unknown.
