One of our illustrations is a reproduction of a drawing by trie architect of a house in Grove road. Kelburne, which has latelybeen built for Mr. H. J. Wynne, from designs by F. de J. Clere, F.R.1.8.A. Mr. Clere has not very materially departed from the half timber style which he introduced into Wellington some } r ears ago when he built Dr. Fell's and Dr Wallace McKenzies (now Dr. Gilmer's) and other picturesque houses, and which were the forerunners of a host of copies which dot the hills of Wellington in all directions. He has, however, brought the plan of the 1). ilding quite up-to-date, and by the judicious use of tiles and Flemish glass the place is qoite abreast with modern work. The house contains ten good rooms, and more than the ordinary number of conveniences. It is lighted throughout by electricity, and provided with gas for cooking pui poses, and though on a much exposed site the construction is so good that the fiercest winds produce no effect on it.
