Yes Alan, it would been a state house, I can tell you the same house is still standing, the sections much smaller.
I did contact Wormalds, but they keep nothing after the 7 years cut off.

I did try the education board, as he was the caretaker at New Lynn school for a while at the time the baby died.
Also Hospital board as he worked as a caretaker at Auckland Hospital.

Peter it would be best not to keep using the "QUOTE" button as it takes up a lot of unnecessary space on the forum.

Minniehaha.

Hi again Peter.

Re the house at 12 Beverly Place New Lynn. From the legal description on the Auckland Council GeoMaps, I feel the legal title discription has not changed since the house was noted as being built in 1962. Probably empty sections next door.  Legal title is recorded as Lot 1 DP 187352  117B / 888, 505 m2 and is now in private hands. There were many assistance schemes for those who qualified, to obtain a state house, and leases could be converted to ownership. Local libraries can hold copies of workplace publications etc, not all of which supplied copies to the Alexander Turnbal collection at Wellington. I convener / edited one annual publication for nine years. It was on behalf of just 300 members, but always had over 84 pages.

Alan.

EDIT. OOp's upon looking at supplied map there is now a 12A so property has been halved.

yes I went around there last year to get some photos. as the house as such is very little changed over the years. BUT my camera failed and I always meant to go back. I did write to the occupier at one point, but never got a reply. Not that I really expected one. Next time we visit west, from Waiuku I must swing by and see if I can get some picts. Only interested in the Outside. The young lady I spoke to last visit was renting and seemed ok about it.

Just Google the address. I have done so, but can not post on the open furum. If you don't know how and are prepared to supply an email address to me, feel free to PM me.  Alan.

AND EDIT an other OOP's, on returning to Google maps [street view]  the "state" house I was looking at will be number 10 Beverly Place, and number 12 who's house was built in 1962, is behind number 10, and is of a more modern design than the 1950's state house. But unfortunatey obscured by trees. Section 12 was split, and the back house 12A was built in 1999.

yes as you can see it was a large section and the back had fruit trees and dad had a large workshop down the back. All the land joining at the back of the section was farm land. Now all subdivided with new roads.
