The older house is at 748 Main Street. It was built around 1887 and distinguishing features were the twin gables of the front. T R Moore was an early owner, followed by the Coutts family. The house is mostly built of totara and the flooring is tongue and groove in heart totara. The house, near the Ruahine Street corner, no longer exists at this address (2010).
