My husbands great grandfather built an accommodation house at
Tipapa in Canterbury about 1893. (This is not the homestead that now stands at Tipapa). I have found in Papers Past a notice of Application for an Accommodation Licence for the building and I have a copy of the Certificate of Title for the land it was built on. From this information I believe it was built on what is now approximately number 80 Greta Road. Does anyone know anything about this accommodation house?

Oh and 80 Greta Road is just a small house that would have been built quite some time ago...

Thank you for all your replies but like I said in my original message the accommodation house he built is not the one that now stands at Ti Papa and yes I know that 80 Greta Road is just a small house but where it is is approximately where the accommodation house was built.
Hi Persie long time no hear. I will email you later today. Don't have time right now as need to get ready for work.
