Historic Lower Hutt mansion Anson House up for sale
One of Lower Hutt's most historic houses is for sale.
Anson House, built in 1899, is listed in the Hutt City Council's district plan as a building of regional significance, being one of the last original bay villas left in the city.
The 400 square metre home was built for W.G. Foster, the second mayor of Lower Hutt, but is named after Dr George Edward Anson, chief New Zealand physician of the Australian Mutual Provident Society (now AMP) and later a chairman of directors for The Dominion newspaper.
He took ownership of the home in 1906.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
