Description

Officials attend the opening of “Totaranui” in The Square in 1970, including Dr G.C. Petersen (far right). “Totaranui”, a house constructed at 49 Fitzroy Street c1875, was built for Peter Manson, a sawmiller, farmer and Borough Councillor, and his family. It was bought by the Pascoe family in 1908 and in 1970 the family gifted it to the Palmerston North City Council. It is said to be one of the oldest building still in existence in Palmerston North. It was sited in The Square for the centenary and is now part of the museum complex at Te Manawa.
