Ex Navy land, now being redeveloped by Ngati Whatua, Whai Rawa

Not originally a state house, but built as a navy house in the traditional state house style

I moved to the side of the road to watch and photograph this house being moved in northern NSW Aust.

The building on the right (west) side of the John Irwin House is a condominium highrise.

A closer view of the Karma tower illustration on the billboard next to the John Irwin House. It shows how the heritage building will be incorporated into the northeast corner of the project.

Looking toward the house from the northeast corner of the Karma site. Once it has been relocated, the John Irwin House will sit where the white parking lot attendant's booth is situated in this photo.

The rear section of the house -- the part that was not included in the building's heritage designation --has now been completely demolished and removed.

The house has now been relocated to the northeast corner of the Karma site

demolition of the rear of the house has started and will be visible in the next photo ...

The rear half of the house does not have heritage status and will be demolished.

The house is almost in its final resting position .... it still needs to be moved several feet forward, closer to the Grenville Street sidewalk

A closer look at the spot where the house stood for more than 139 years.
