Brain Watkins House
High cultural significance”, “unique”, and “intact” are some of the words used by conservation architects to describe the Brain Watkins House. This Victorian square villa was built in the 1880s. It is one of six surviving single-family homes in New Zealand with the original contents predominantly intact that functions as a house museum.
The house and contents were gifted to the Tauranga Historical Society by Elva Brain Watkins in 1979. Today the Society is responsible for the management, preservation and display of the Brain Watkins House Museum, which is open to the public on Sundays from 2-4pm.
