documentary heritage

Henry Winkelmann with muddy shoes sits at a table with a zither. A woman sits at the other end. An older man and a younger woman sit on the verandah steps with two dogs. One dog has a pair of glasses on so that he appears to be reading a magazine. The verandah features birdcages, rolled rattan blinds, climbing frames and a window which has a false wall beneath it which can open.

John Whitney founded the Colonial Ammunition Company with Mr Hazard. Mr Hazard withdrew from the partnership after an initial failure and Mr Whitney formed John Whitney and Sons, with his sons Asa, Robin and Cecil.

"Rumour has it that [Sir George Grey] occupied this house at Wenderholm whilst extensive alterations were being carried out at Kawau and that during one of his visits, a guest of Swedish origin christened the place "Wenderholm", meaning "Winter Home". Wenderholm / Mary Billman, 1971, p.[3].

John Whitney bought pieces of Wenderholm from 1893 to 1911. He added and changed a lot of the house. The Geddes family owned it from 1919 to 1928. In 1928 Captain Thomas Caradoc Kerry bought it. Herbert William Couldrey purchased Wenderholm in 1940. In 1965 the Auckland Regional Authority bought Wenderholm excluding the homestead block. By 1971 the ARA had purchased this land and house as well.
