About this object
View of the ruins of a stone house at Paihia in the Bay of Islands, possibly taken in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. The house was built in 1832 by Bishop William Williams (1800-1878). Part of the stone walls were still standing at the time that the photograph was taken. The site is surrounded by trees and undergrowth.
