In the 1940s when this water colour was thought to have been painted the downstairs served as Tuckers' wine merchant business. After this it had two shop frontages; the Sweet Nook Confectionery and P Hosking, Watchmaker. Upstairs was used as a boarding house run by Mrs Clark.

Entitled 'Apartment house' by the artist, John Tetley. Pen and wash. Colour.

John Tetley was a parasitologist at Massey Agricultural College, Palmerston North, and a well known amateur artist who exhibited locally.
