If you are a literary and art lover, then you must not miss this historical cottage, because this historical building houses nearly 2,000 books, hundreds of pages of musical scores, some paintings and many well-preserved historical relics. There is also an exquisite little garden behind the Evelme farmhouse, the design of which reflects the style and character of the Victorian architecture. The cottage's history The fir-framed cottage was designed and built in the 1860s by Vicesimus Lush, an Anglican priest of Howick, and his wife Blanche. The cottage was built because Lush wanted his oldest son to study at Parnell Secondary School. But the school is far from home (Howick), and a feasible solution is to build a house near the school. Eighteen years after the cottage was built, it was repaired once by the owner of the house, and then in 1968 the house changed hands. The cozy cottage near the school provided children with a convenient and comfortable learning environment at that time. It also makes the family have a comfortable place to live when they occasionally visit Auckland.

The surrounding environment of the farmhouse is quite pastoral, and it is a seclusion that lives here invincible. The interior of the house is quite modern and luxurious, as if it was pulled back to the modern society at once!
It was a villa-style bookstore, and the design of the house shocked me, and the story behind it was even more touching, said to be designed and built by Howick's Episcopal priest, Vicesimus Lush, and his wife, Blanche, in the 1860s. The purpose of the hut was that Lush wanted his eldest son to study at Parnell High School. Father and mother love are the greatest, and everything starts for the good of the child. I feel that this is a love bookstore, the books inside are the father's deep love for the child, holding a book, it is quite holding a love, this place shocked my heart.
The classic Victorian villa, which is said to have been designed and built in the 1860s by Howick's Anglican pastor and his wife Blanche, was originally built to Lush want his eldest son to study at Parnell High School. It has a lot of fatherly love. This historical building contains many books, nearly 2,000 books, hundreds of pages of music, some drawings and many well-preserved historical relics. It is still very sensational to turn over the books in it. Take pictures, even in a bookstore in a fairy tale.
A small house full of books, a literary heart beats immediately
Literature lovers must not miss this historical cabin. I specially checked the guide of this cabin. This building is very simple in appearance. It is a cedar structure cabin, but there are many precious books in the building, hundreds of pages of music, and a sense of history. There is also a small exquisite garden behind the farmhouse, very Victorian style, which has been changed to a museum and can be visited slowly.
