20 Orakei Rd (Remuera’s Century-Old Homes Project)
The striking Arts and Crafts-inspired residence known as ‘Te Roti’ has a long and interesting history. Built for the well-known Winstone family in 1897, it is one of only a few surviving examples of the work of the important, yet short-lived, architectural practice of Fripp and Goldsbro’. During the twentieth century, the place continued to have associations with individuals who made significant contributions to Auckland’s history, including a noted businessman, prominent medical practitioners, and a highly-regarded historian. It even has links to a popular 1980s TV show!
