Ewen St. interior
An interior of the house at 35 Ewen Street, Auckland, where Granny and Pop lived for so many years. This was taken the week after Pop died, in July 2006.

Ewen St. interior
An interior of the house at 35 Ewen Street, Auckland, where Granny and Pop lived for so many years. This was taken the week after Pop died, in July 2006. These are two of the chairs that came from Edmond Castle, brought by Ellen Octavia Graham. Thought to be 18th C. French. I always thought them particularly ugly and uncomfortable. Still do. Nasty things, but worth a fortune.

Ewen St. exterior
View from Pop's balcony at the house at 35 Ewen St, Auckland. Taken the week after Pop died, in July 2006. You can see how close Takapuna beach is. I used to play there a lot as a child, whenever I could.

Ewen St. interior
Interior of Ewen St., looking over the lovely mahogany table and chairs, towards what was Granny's room later in life. The corner cabinet at the top left was installed upside-down by Pop, and the key thus turns the opposite way to open it.
