Marivare House Epsom

Located in Epsom’s Ranfurly Road, Marivare is a large and unusually well-preserved nineteenth-century residence that consists of a two-storey Regency-style timber structure (circa 1862-5) and a brick ballroom addition of Tudor Revival design incorporating battlements and an attached conservatory (1880s). Marivare is of particular value for the extent and range of its surviving interior features and has strong historical associations with several prominent nineteenth century Auckland politicians and businessmen including Henry Ellis, Thomas Henderson and lawyer John Russell.
