NZHPT listing
Unfortunately, when a building listed by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT) gets removed from the register (because it was demolished, say), the Trust removes the building's web listing. Many historic web pages are accessible through Wayback Machine, but this particular page was never archived: http://www.historic.org.nz/TheRegister/RegisterSearch/RegisterResults.aspx?RID=3119

I have obtained the NZHPT's original registration report, which the before-mentioned website was derived from.  Schwede 66  05:22, 24 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I couldn't quite make sense of the NZHPT registration date and wrote to them for clarification. Here's what they had to say:


 * "Yes you are quite right that A and B classifications became Cat I and C and D classifications became Cat II historic places. But following an audit of the Register in 2003, there were some ‘deficient registrations’ identified that had to go through the registration process again – mostly in cases where a valid Board Minute could not be found upon audit.  This was indeed the case for Linwood House – the previous date of registration was 17 August 1982 but confirmation of registration was not found at the claimed date of registration.  Accordingly, a new registration proposal was prepared in 2005 (this is the date you will see on the report that I sent through to you).  The Board confirmed the registration on 24 June 2005."


 * No wonder I got confused. Thanks for the clarification.  Schwede 66  21:17, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

The Press reference dated 5 March 2011
I have a hardcopy of an article that was published in The Press on 5 March 2011. The article was spread over two pages (B8 and B9), but I have page B9 only. Hence, half the title is missing from the reference. As The Press is divided into sections and each section starts with page 1, the section letter is part of the page numbering (i.e. in this case, the article appeared in section B).

Georgian / Regency
Is this not a very odd description for a house built in 1857? Eddaido (talk) 11:51, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't know; this is very much not my area of expertise. I very much expect that the description comes from the heritage registration report, which is no longer online, but I do have a hard copy somewhere. Shall I dig this out to confirm? If so, would you be happy to have a discussion with the NZHPT people (I can give you an email address)?  Schwede 66  18:57, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The registration report is online again. It is indeed the source for the "odd description", as you call it.  Schwede 66  19:25, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've spoken to the Christchurch office and expect to hear more tomorrow. Eddaido (talk) 23:43, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * We talked at some length and at cross-purposes (to make it clear I am questioning the assessment of the architect who did it) and the next day I received an email which repeated the phrase as evidence of something. I expect the building was all well-photographed and anyone who is interested enough can form their own opinions from those pictures. I will drop the matter because if I'm correct and if my persistence got it changed I do acknowledge the correction wouldn't much reduce our load of the world's multifarious injustices!
