This building was called Devonshire House and was on Church Street next to the former Police Station. 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.
