Dr Henry Pollen's House is a historic building in Wellington, New Zealand. The house was built in 1902 for Dr Henry Pollen as a residence and surgery.[1] It was designed by William Turnbull.[2] It was originally located at 12 Boulcott Street but was moved by crane to the corner of Boulcott Street and Willis Street in 1988 to make room for the Majestic Centre.[3][4] The building was also reoriented by about 90 degrees to fit on its new site.[5]

Since Dr Pollen's death in 1918, the building has had a variety of uses including life as a private residence, bookshop, wine bar and restaurant.[6] In the late 1970s and 1980s the building was used as a massage parlour called "The House of Ladies".[7][8] As of January 2021 the building houses a bar named 'Pop'.

The house is built of totara, matai and rimu with a corrugated iron mansard roof,[9] and when restored after being moved its historical features were retained as much as possible. Original brick chimneys were replaced with lightweight replicas.[4]
