[Hoggard's house with Lambton Quay in the foreground], 1861. Watercolour by Charles Decimus Barraud. (ATL ref. C-174-004) The house, built in 1856, on the lower Terrace above Lambton Quay, belonged to the Chief Postmaster in Wellington at the time, John Farr Hoggard. The carriage shown riding along Lambton Quay belonged to William Barnard ('Barney') Rhodes, which was distinctive for its yellow wheels. The Turnbull holds an oil of this scene, acquired in 1961, and was done either by John (Jack) Hoggard, son of John Farr Hoggard, or by Edith Richardson, sister-in-law of John Farr Hoggard. There are also photographs of another copied version of Barraud's original work. Between the three versions, there is substantial research value for those studying early scenes of central Wellington.
