Ferndale House is a 19th-century house in Mount Albert, Auckland, New Zealand, which is listed by Heritage New Zealand as a Category II structure. The house was built in the 1860s for the Garlick family, major figures in the Methodist community in Mount Albert, later becoming a hub for the Plunket Society in the 1940s and a community centre.
History
The land where the house lies was bought by pioneer Robert Hunt in 1845.Шаблон:Sfn In 1865, Anne Garlick and her husband, Jonathan Tonson Garlick wed and purchased land on Hunt's former section along New North Road, together having five children.Шаблон:Sfn Their home was a small cottage on the site, which they called Fern Villa.[1] The Garlicks were central figures in the Methodist community of Mount Albert, regularly hosting major social events in their home.Шаблон:Sfn In 1870, the house was greatly enlarged,[1] and by 1881 the family had decided to rename their home Ferndale.Шаблон:Sfn
The Garlick family allowed many local clubs and institutions to operate from their home.
