“Totaranui”, 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 was restored and is part of the museum complex at Te Manawa. It is said to be one of the oldest building still in existence in Palmerston North.
