Single Stamp |
Single 20c 'Alberton, Auckland' gummed stamp. Built in 1867 by Allan Taylor who came to New Zealand as a boy, having lived in India and Scotland. Essentially, 'Alberton' was a farmhouse, with a timber frame and gabled building of 11 rooms with a verandah and open balcony. Additions were made in the late 1860s and again in 1890, giving 'Alberton' much of its character and uniqueness. Today, 'Alberton' retains its Victorian furnishings without much change. It shows clearly how a 19th century land-owning family lived. |

It was used for various purposes and for a period served as a convalescent home until made available to Massey University. |
