VUW Te Waharoa — New Ulster Gazette 1848, No 24

The short-lived province of New Ulster never had an established council building (in fact, the New Ulster Legislative Council never met). The Province was led by Lieutenant-Governor George Dean-Pitt, whose residence was a regency style villa (depicted) at the top of Greys Avenue, Auckland.
