Built for Jacob Nannestad, a sawmiller, this house was bought by John Henderson Pollock Strang in 1903. In 1921 it was sold to William Caccia Birch. It remained in the Caccia Birch family until gifted to the Government in 1941. The house had various uses, including as a Convalescent Home and was eventually given to the Palmerston North City Council. It is now called Caccia Birch and serves as a function centre.
