St Ann's is a historic English country cottage in Remuera, Auckland, New Zealand.
Built in the early 20th century for a wealthy owner, St Ann's was later used by the Auckland Kindergarten Association before being sold back into private ownership.
St Ann's is an English country cottage designed in the Arts and Crafts style, with some Georgian revival influence, constructed from timber with a masonry foundation.
[1][2] St Ann's sits amongst landscaped, parterre, and terraced gardens on a 3,062 m2 (3,662 sq yd) section.
Between 1932 and 1945 the Nathans hosted fête at their home to raise money for charitable causes including the Second World War, the Newmarket Kindergarten, and the National Association for the Blind.
Before 1944 a brick wall with timber lattice inserts was built along the front boundary replacing an earlier wire fence.
[2] Strevens made multiple alterations and additions in 1984: he had a Edwin Lutyens style bay window that spans both storeys of the house installed, some windows were repositioned, ornamental ventilation was installed on the street facing side of the home, a door was inserted to lead to the gardens, the chimneys were painted covering up the motifs, and the main entranceway was altered to have an arch and fanlight, and the porch and shutters for louvre windows were removed.
