TWW Comment

The First Government House was a prefabricated structure brought to New Zealand by William Hobson in 1841. It was erected in Waterloo Quadrant and burned down in 1848 during George Grey's first period as governor. The Second house built in 1856, now known as Old Government House, is now part of the University of Auckland City Campus and has been converted into lecture theatres and a common room for faculty. see: https://natlib.govt.nz/headings?il%5Bcategory%5D=Groups&text=government+house+auckland
