A Storied Legacy Dating Back to 1885. This grand two level villa (approximately 330sqm) is steeped in history and rich in architectural charm. Constructed in 1885 for court registrar and banker George William Basley and his wife Frances, the residence later became home to Auckland City engineer Walter Ernest Bush, who oversaw the construction of the adjacent Grafton Bridge (1908 –1910). Historical photos show that the exterior remains largely unchanged since 1900.

Designed in the elegant Italianate style popular in the late 19th century and built from solid kauri timber, the home features bay windows, ornate verandas, and numerous period details. It holds a Category B heritage listing under Auckland Council's schedule of buildings, heritage properties, and places of special value.
