LEAVITT HOUSE.
Members of Convention will remember that His Worship the Mayor made feeling refen vice to the help he had received in his boyhood at Leavitt House. The following from a Dunedin paper, will prove of Interest to these: “The good wmrk carried on at Leavitt House in Albany Street for a number of years, is brought to mind by a request from a Port Chalmers resident, for information as to whether the building was ever licensed as the Star and Garter Hotel. The reply is in the affirmative. Mr John Haydon was the licensee in 1 878 as appears by a directory of that date, and in 18 84 Mr George Falconer was the landlord. “After the Star and Garter lost ils license, the Women's Christian Temperance Pnion rented the building, named it Leavitt House, and estab lished therein a mission and night schools.”
