Ewelme Cottage(14 Ayr Street, Parnell) was designed and built by the Reverend Vicesimus Lush (1817-1882) and his wife Blanche in 1863-64. Located close to the prominent Anglican community in Parnell, the house enabled Lush's sons to attend the Church of England grammar school.
This mid 19th centrury home provides many insights to early Auckland and the lives of middle class domestic settlers. The house has many original possessions of the family including some rare artifacts such a letter between Lush and Samuel Marsden. If you have time its well-worth a look around.
