Mrs Wiley's Villa, 41 Hine Street. Hamish Crimp (2017).
This villa, located on the western part of Town Section 59, was designed by New Plymouth architect Frank Messenger for Mrs Wiley in 1906.
A building permit was issued to Mrs Wiley on 23 November 1906 for a cottage on Town Section 59, with an estimated value of £316. In September 1906 Frank Messenger advertised for tenders for "building a residence in Hine Street" - this is likely to be for 41 Hine Street.
Town Section 59 was subdivided in 1906, with the western part being purchased by Mrs S. (Sophia) Wiley.
